…Hands over rehabilitation project to TILT/Schneider Electric JV
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has officially handed over the rehabilitation of its Gbarain Power Plant in Bayelsa State to a joint venture comprising TILT Energy Limited and Schneider Electric for the replacement of the plant’s burnt Power Control Module (PCM), marking a significant milestone in efforts to restore the 225MW facility.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Ginsau Idris, NDPHC’s General Manager, Generation Projects, said the PCM was extensively damaged by fire, making its replacement imperative.
He expressed confidence in the contractors, noting that all parties clearly understood their responsibilities and were committed to delivering the project successfully and within schedule.
NDPHC’s Executive Director, Generation, Abdullahi Kassim, recalled that the PCM was destroyed by fire in November 2020, just months before the plant was due for commissioning, describing the incident as a major setback to the project.
