The Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC) and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) have agreed to supply up to 10 megawatts of electricity to the Nigerian Oil and Gas Park in Odukpani, Cross River State.
The partnership, which began with an expression of interest submitted in 2025, advanced to a stakeholder engagement on 25 February 2026, according to a statement signed by NDPHC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Emmanuel Ojor. Under the agreement, NDPHC will deliver power from its Calabar Generation Company Limited to the park, which is being developed as an industrial hub for downstream oil‑and‑gas operators.
The 10 MW supply is intended to mitigate chronic energy shortages that have constrained manufacturing and processing activities in the region. NDPHC says the reliable, sustainable electricity will support the park’s core functions—production, processing and distribution of refined petroleum products and gas‑based materials. In addition, the project is expected to stimulate local manufacturing of equipment and components for the oil and gas sector, aligning with the Nigerian government’s broader agenda of increasing indigenous content.
The Nigerian Oil and Gas Park, located in Odukpani, is part of a series of strategic investments aimed at creating a self‑sufficient industrial ecosystem in the Niger Delta. By centralising downstream operations, the park seeks to improve efficiency, reduce logistical bottlenecks and attract further private‑sector investment. Reliable power is a critical enabler for these objectives, as many industrial facilities in Nigeria continue to rely on intermittent grid supply and costly diesel generators.
The collaboration between NDPHC and NCDMB reflects a growing trend of public‑private partnerships focused on infrastructure development in the energy sector. Both organisations have highlighted the project’s potential to boost economic activity, create jobs and enhance the competitiveness of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry on a global scale.
The first phase of electricity delivery is slated to commence later this year, pending final regulatory approvals and commissioning of the Calabar Generation plant. Stakeholders will monitor the rollout closely, as the outcome will provide a benchmark for future power‑supply agreements within other industrial zones across the country.
