Abstract

The abysmal and epileptic nature of electric supply in the country is becoming unpleasant hence the recourse to NIPP projects. In this paper, the economic and environmental impacts of the NIPP were examined and the effects of double generator (N-2) outage contingency of the NIPP power plants on the Nigerian 330-KV network were analyzed. With the analysis, it was deduced that the NIPP has much positive impact on the Nigerian economy, which coupled with the reduction in gas flaring, overrides the negative impact of NIPP on the environment. Also, there were line violations on some parts of the grid network during the contingency assessment.
