Douye Diri of Bayelsa has said that power from the state’s Independent Power Plant, when completed, would not be free.
Diri made the clarification on Thursday when he visited the project site to inspect six out of the eight new 60mw gas turbines at Elebele in Ogbia Local Government.
Our correspondent reports that the power equipment and its accessories arrived the state about a week ago.
“We are actually expecting eight gas turbines but six have arrived and I have been assured that the remaining two with some accessories will be here next week.
The Commissioner for Power, Mr Kharin Komuko, described the project as a dream come true for the “ASSURED Prosperity” of this administration.
