The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has concluded the second phase of its 2026 Insurance Risk Engineering Survey at the Omotosho and Sapele power plants, reinforcing safety protocols and asset protection measures across its generation portfolio.
The company disclosed that the exercise forms part of a broader nationwide programme under the National Integrated Power Project (NIPP), aimed at strengthening operational reliability and aligning its facilities with international risk management standards.
According to NDPHC, the comprehensive review examined equipment condition and turbine integrity, operational safety systems, maintenance procedures, as well as environmental and operational risk exposure. The assessment was conducted in collaboration with international insurance partners to improve plant resilience and reduce exposure to financial and operational losses.
Speaking during the post-survey feedback session, Executive Director, Finance and Accounts, Omololu Agoro, said periodic risk engineering audits remain critical to safeguarding long-term investments and sustaining electricity generation capacity.
He noted that insights from the survey would enhance plant availability, optimise maintenance frameworks, and strengthen the company’s insurance positioning in global markets.
NDPHC stated that similar risk evaluations are being implemented across its power plants nationwide as part of a long-term strategy to protect infrastructure assets and improve grid reliability.
Energy analysts observe that improved asset integrity and preventive maintenance mechanisms are vital to reducing forced outages and stabilising electricity supply in Nigeria.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to continuous engagement with global technical and insurance partners to deliver dependable power while preserving long-term stakeholder value.
