The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has emphasized its Eligible Customer Programme (ECP) as a key initiative to deliver more reliable electricity to industrial and commercial consumers, stressing that a stable power supply remains vital for business growth and economic development.
Commitment to Reliable Electricity
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NDPHC, Engr. Jennifer Adighije, reiterated the company’s dedication to improving electricity access and supporting productive sectors of the economy. She stated that reliable electricity is essential for industrial expansion, job creation, and enhanced productivity, as businesses require a predictable power supply to operate efficiently and grow.
“At NDPHC, we remain committed to delivering reliable electricity that drives industries, empowers communities, and fuels national progress,” Adighije said.
Eligible Customer Programme
She described the Eligible Customer Programme as a strategic initiative that allows large industrial and commercial consumers to access electricity directly, helping to reduce operational disruptions caused by inadequate power supply. “Our Eligible Customer Programme gives businesses reliable, predictable electricity so they can focus on scaling operations, not power outages,” she stated.
Adighije explained that the programme is designed to minimize energy uncertainty and improve business competitiveness by ensuring a more consistent electricity supply. She added that improved access to electricity would continue to play a crucial role in supporting industrial growth and economic development, while calling for stronger collaboration among stakeholders to build a more resilient power sector.

According to NDPHC, businesses participating in the programme can benefit from improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced energy security, enabling them to expand production and invest in growth opportunities.
The company also noted that ongoing initiatives, including the Light Up Nigeria Project, aim to improve electricity access for productive users and strengthen industrial capacity across the country.
