The CCTEC-Ossiomo Power Plant, with a capacity of 55 megawatts, is set for test run in the next couple of weeks following the completion of the installation of 33KVA lines and a substation at the Edo State Secretariat complex.
The development would open up the state’s power sector to competition for the benefit of residential and industrial consumers
The CCETC-Ossiomo benefits from a power purchase agreement entered with the Edo State Government, which paves the way for the supply of stable electricity to government buildings and public utilities.The power plant would cement the state’s status as a hub for power generation and distribution in the country. Power consumers will have a flexible regime that guarantees that they buy power from willing sellers.
The 55MW CCETC-Ossiomo power project is unique and critical. Aside from the fact that it is a fulfillment of Governor Godwin Obaseki’s promise to bring investors into the power sector and improve the sector for optimal performance, the success of the project also provides the state government a good partner in industrializing the state.The power station would power a number of legacy projects in the state, such as the Benin Enterprise and Industrial Park as well as the Utesi Industrial Cluster.The project showcases the commitment of the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led government to the welfare of Edo people.
The company laid 104 high tension poles from Ologbo to the Benin By-pass, which indicates the level of investment made in ensuring a solid infrastructure is put in place for the success of the project.
