Extension of Electricity to Eastern Sector

The Kaduna State Government is building affordable houses across the state in partnership with private companies such as Family Homes. In 2020 KAPSCO conducted an energy assessment to find out how best to connect Millennium City to the grid. KAPSCO also has the mandate to get the homes metered and connected to the grid.

Increasing Capacity of the Power sector in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Government sponsored 39 graduates in the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN). This equipped the Graduates with the knowledge and skills on generation, transmission, distribution of Power across the country, maintenance, and operations of power components, as well as to become certified professionals in Solar Photovoltaic.

Given the essentiality of power in every sphere of society, and its pertinent need in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, KAPSCO was able to play a key role in supporting the efforts of the Kaduna State Government in curbing the spread of the virus in the state.

Through collaborative efforts with Arnergy Power Solutions, All-on and Rotary club of Kaduna, we were able to provide two 5kVA solar systems to the Infectious Disease Control center (IDCC) in Kakuri. In doing this, we were able to help provide constant power to the facility for critical medical equipment such as the Ventilators.

Also, the IDCC had not been connected to the National grid prior to March 2020. However, we were able to secure a donation of a 100kVA transformer from our Partners – skipper Nigeria Ltd to connect the IDCC to the National grid.

We also worked with the Ministry of Health and the Kaduna State Facility Management Agency to secure and install a bigger generator at the IDCC to serve as a back up source of power. We left no stone unturned in ensuring that power was provided to the center.

KAPSCO worked with Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company to reconnect the isolation center at Hamdala motel. The motel had been disconnected by Kaduna Electric, but upon its usage as an isolation centre for those infected by the virus, we ensured that they would not be without power.

With the dedicated power infrastructure already under construction, the Green Economic Zone is poised to serve Agro-allied industries, light engineering, electronic assembly, anchor industries, food processing clusters and fashion parks. The GEZ substation is being built according to Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards.  

The zone is a hybrid zone as power will be generated from both TCN and Solar Systems to power the zone. Furthermore, a method of Underground Distribution Networks will be used to distribute power to the end users.

KAPSCO also Facilitated the training of 14 young Kaduna State technicians in Metering Technology at MOMAS Metering School. The training afforded them an increase in knowledge in metering technology and Hands-on practical sessions on meter installation as well as exposure to leadership, entrepreneurship, transport, and logistics amongst others.
