NG-Electricity and Gas Improvement operates in Nigeria.
The development objectives of the Electricity and Gas Improvement Project for Nigeria is to: (i) improve the availability and reliability of gas supply to increase power generation in existing public sector power plants; and (ii) improve the power network's capacity and efficiency to transmit and distribute quality electricity to the consumers. There are three components to the project. The first component being risk mitigation through a series of Partial Risk Guarantee (PRGs) in support of gas supplies to increase power generation from existing public sector power plants. The second component is the enhancement of transmission and distribution infrastructure. This component will reinforce of distribution networks to increase electricity supply in selected cities including Kano, Kaduna, Eko, Ikeja, Ibadan, Abuja, Benin, Port Harcourt, Yola, Jos; and Enugu. Finally, the third component is the technical advisory services. Provision of logistical support and technical advisory services required to sustain ongoing reforms undertaken by the recipient to improve the performance of its power sector including: a) design of gas infrastructure and transmission and distribution systems needed to handle expected increases in power supply; and b) formulation and execution of community outreach activities including a communication program to foster and to sustain open and continuous dialogue amongst all relevant stakeholders about the project.
