Uninterrupted Power Supply Launches In Ibadan, Says Oyo Govt


The Oyo State Government says the 11 Megawatts Ibadan Hybrid Power Project commissioned by Governor Seyi Makinde early this month has taken off.


The state’s Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, said the whole of the Oyo State Secretariat and its environs, covering all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, including the Secretariat Clinic, the State House of Assembly, and the Governor’s office, have started to experience uninterrupted power supply.


According to Oyelade in a Statement made available to journalists, the development is a fulfillment of Makinde’s promise to commence the process of power independence for the state.



The first phase of the project, according to the statement, is a 5MW integrated power plant consisting of solar power and natural gas.


The next phase will extend uninterrupted power supply to other critical arms of government, including selected schools, Adeoyo and Ring Road Hospitals, the High Court complex, and Adamasingba Stadium, among others.



The Commissioner said that the state government, through the Ministry of Energy, in partnership with a private energy conglomerate under a structured Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) model, is undertaking the power project.
