Nigeria - Nigeria Transmission Expansion Project Phase 1

The Nigeria Transmission Expansion Project – phase 1 (NTEP 1) is part of the national Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme (TREP). This programme aims to support the rehabilitation and upgrade of Nigeria’s electricity transmission substations and lines, to increase power transmission network and allow distribution companies to improve supply to consumers. NTEP 1 is composed of brownfield and greenfield projects, and aims at strengthening and improving the grid wheeling capacity where the transmission lines are the most constrained. It involves (i) the reconstruction of two (2) 330kV double circuit quad transmission lines, 138km Alaoji–Onitsha and 125km Delta–Benin; (ii) the construction of one (1) 330kV double circuit quad transmission line, 204km Kaduna–Kano; (iii) the construction of two (2) 330/132kV, 2 x 150MVA Sub stations at Zaria and Millennium City; (iv) The construction of two (2) 132/33kV, 2x 60MVA Sub stations at Rigasa and Jaji respectively. The three (03) components included in NTEP 1 are: (1) strengthening and improvement of the electricity transmission system, (2) impact mitigation and compensation, and (3) capacity building and technical assistance.
