These generators that are going to supply power to this transmission line are going to generate that power specifically for this project. So, it is unutilised power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Abdulaziz also said the country is expecting new generators to participate in the energy export for the 875 kilometre 330 kilovolts transmission line which would run from Nigeria through the four countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, there are some communities that are under the line route, about 611 of them will be getting power so that there won\u2019t be just a transmission line passing without impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed optimism that the project will create jobs while Nigeria will also earn foreign exchange (forex).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria has the greatest advantage among these countries because the electricity is going to be exported from Nigerian GenCos, \u201d Abdulaziz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo from that, the revenue is going to be enhanced and a lot of people will be employed in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his remark, Siengui Appolinaire Ki, WAPP secretary-general, said: \u201cThe cost is about $570 million and the part of the investment in each country is funded by the country and they are supported by the donors, and Nigeria is taking its own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the funding agreement was ready as participating countries await the disbursement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the donor agencies had said they needed a power purchase agreement (PPA) between the buying and the selling countries to be executed before releasing the fund,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we will be addressing the ministers on this, so they can talk to the donors to remove this condition for disbursing the fund and let\u2019s go on with the implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria through its electricity generation companies (GenCos) will sell power to four West African countries, WITHIN NIGERIA learnt.
