Transmission facilities currently consist of 330KV and 132KV transmission lines and 114 substations.

EXPANSION/UPGRADE OF THE transmission GRID NETWORK CONT.

Due to urbanization and environmental issues, it is becoming increasing difficult to acquire right- of-way for new lines Increased power demand due to growth in industries and

population Vandalization of transmission lines Adverse weather conditions Poor power quality Transmission grid upgrades cannot keep pace with power

demand

Key Transmission Grid Challenges

OVERVIEW OF NIGERIA’S NP STRATEGIC PLAN

Nigeria is concluding Phase II of the implementation of its nuclear power programme and may enter into Inter-Governmental Agreements (IGA) with some vendor countries

Can the grid expansion and enhancement

programme safely accommodate the inclusion of nuclear

power?

The big question

TM ON FLEX

nuclear technology

choice

broaden nuclear power plant operation

regime

maximally utilize the

enhanced grid

regulatory and licensing

implications

knowledgeable customer drive

CONCLUSION

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
