Niger Delta Power Company Seeks More Subscribers To Eligible Customer Programme

The management of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), has called on high-energy-consuming organisations to subscribe to its Eligible Customer Programme (ECP) to enable them to purchase electricity directly from NDPHC and other Generation Companies.

The company, over the weekend explained that the Eligible Customer Programme, initially launched in 2017 and updated in 2024, provides an avenue for industrial and commercial customers to access stable, reliable, and affordable electricity supply.

Under the Programme, eligible customers can access between 6, 10 and 20MW.
Once approved with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and secure eligibility status, customers benefit from flexible pricing, negotiated energy tariffs, and improved supply reliability.

With more than 2,000MW of stranded power capacity, NDPHC is intensifying efforts to optimize its generation assets by selling power directly to bulk users. The Company sees the initiative as a key step towards addressing its liquidity challenges and promoting industrial growth.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NDPHC, Engr. Jennifer Adighije, described the Programme as a strategic pathway to deepen Nigeria’s industrial competitiveness.

“The Eligible Customer framework is designed to strengthen Nigeria’s industrial growth by guaranteeing efficient, reliable, and affordable electricity directly from our plants to businesses,” Engr.

Adighije stated. “Phoenix Steel Mills is a clear demonstration of how stable power translates into higher productivity, cost savings, and stronger value chains for the economy.”

She noted that the success of early participants in the scheme has reinforced NDPHC’s commitment to expanding the initiative to more industrial clusters across the country.

Companies currently benefiting from NDPHC’s Eligible Customer Programme include Phoenix Steel Mills, among others.
