Phoenix Steel Mills has announced significant improvements in productivity, operational efficiency, and energy stability following its participation in the Eligible Customer Programme of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).

Through the programme, Phoenix Steel Mills said it now enjoys direct access to a reliable electricity supply from NDPHC’s generation assets, drastically reducing its reliance on unstable grid supply and costly self-generation alternatives.

Phoenix Steel Mills clearly demonstrates how stable power translates into higher productivity, cost savings, and stronger value chains for the economy,” Engr. Adighije said.
