Edo State Government, in
collaboration with the Siemens AG, has vowed to generate 1,000 megawatts of
electricity in the next four years.
The agreement was reached,
yesterday, in Benin City at a stakeholders forum organised by the state
government with a view to identifying the challenges in the power sector and
proffering solutions to them.
Governor Godwin Obaseki, who spoke
at the forum, said that when achieved, the 1000 megawatts will complement the
expected power from the Azura Power plant, Osiomon and UNIBEN Power Plants in
the state.
Also speaking, Siemens AG’s
Head of Operations in Edo State, Onyeche Tiffase, said that the company would
ensure that the MOU it signed with the state government on the establishment of
a Joint Development Committee to generate 1,000MW of electricity in the next
four years to complement ongoing investments in the power sector in the state,
was achieved.
