Delta State has unveiled roadmap to unlock its nearly 3,000 megawatts of installed electricity generation capacity, with plans to establish a state electricity regulatory commission and a rural electrification agency as part of efforts to deepen private sector investment in the power sector.

The roadmap was unveiled yesterday at the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba, where key stakeholders in the energy sector, including Transcorp Power, Manitoba Power, Infrastructure Credit Guarantee Company (InfraCredit), and the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Electric Vehicles, pledged investments to strengthen the state’s electricity market.
