INTRODUCTION
The 11MW Ibadan Hybrid Independent Power Project, located at the Oyo State Government Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, was designed to generate electricity and distribute it through a dedicated electricity network to government offices and other designated public facilities within its coverage area. The project comprises three major components: electricity generation, transmission and distribution, which are intended to provide a more reliable and sustainable electricity supply to designated government facilities and other beneficiaries.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION
The project has an installed generation capacity of 11MW, comprising the following components:- 10MWGas-Fired Power Plant: Generates electricity using natural gas-powered generating engines.- 1MWSolar Photovoltaic (PV) System: Generates electricity through solar panels.- Battery Energy Storage: A 1MWh battery storage system supports energy management and supply stability. The gas-fired and solar generation systems are designed to operate as a hybrid power arrangement to improve electricity availability, operational efficiency and reliability.
ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION
Electricity generated at the power plant is evacuated through dedicated electrical infrastructure and conveyed to designated supply points. The transmission and evacuation arrangement involves:- Power evacuation from the generating plant.- Electrical cables and associated network infrastructure.- Voltage transformation where required.- Dedicated supply routes connecting the power plant to the beneficiary facilities. This arrangement enables electricity to be conveyed from the generation facility to different sections of the Government Secretariat and other designated locations within the project’s coverage area.
ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION
Electricity is distributed through a dedicated network managed by Ibadan Hybrid Distribution Limited, established to manage the distribution infrastructure under an Independent Electricity Distribution Network (IEDN) licence. The distribution network is intended to supply the following facilities:- Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) within the Government Secretariat.- Oyo State House of Assembly.- Governor’s Office and designated Government House facilities.- Secretariat Clinic and other designated government facilities.- Streetlighting infrastructure within the project’s coverage area. The project is intended to reduce dependence on the national grid and conventional diesel- or petrol-powered generators while improving electricity reliability for government operations and other designated beneficiaries.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The 11MW Ibadan Hybrid Independent Power Project provides an integrated electricity generation, transmission and distribution arrangement at the Oyo State Government Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan. The project comprises 10MW gas-fired generation and 1MW solar photovoltaic generation, supported by a 1MWh battery energy storage system. The electricity generated is conveyed through dedicated electrical infrastructure and distributed to government offices and other designated public facilities through an independent distribution network managed by Ibadan Hybrid Distribution Limited.
