    Port Harcourt — The Chairman of Geometric Power Limited, Prof. Barth Nnaji, says the company was already working with NNPC Ltd towards resolving the issues of gas supply to its power plant in Aba, Abia State.

    Nnaji, who is a former Minister of Power, disclosed that this was imperative to enable the company begin electricity generation from its 188MW capacity power plant in Aba within the next two months.

    Speaking during a visit to Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, in Nvosi, Isialangwa South Local Government Area, the former Minister noted that Governor Otti has been very much engaged in ensuring that Geometric Power comes on stream.

    He further disclosed that electricity customers would get power at a regulated price set by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, assuring that once gas was readily available, power supply will improve in Aba and environs.

    He said, “So, we’re expecting that once we have gas, which will be in the next month or two, we will be able to power Aba, that is, from our own power plant.

    “Right now, we’re buying power from the national grid, that is why power is not reliable yet and so, we’ll like to ask the people of Aba to bear with us that we’re getting there. We’re pretty much there.

    “The turbines to power the electricity plant which were taken abroad for maintenance have been brought back to the plant and reinstalled.

    “We’re now working with the NNPC to resolve the issue of gas supply to the plant.”

    Also on the team were the Managing Director of Niger Delta Power Holding Corporation, NDPHC, Chiedu Ugbo and other senior management staff of NDPHC.
