ọdụ ọkụ na Nigeria

Kashimbilla Hydroelectric Power Station, also known as Kashimbilla Hydroelectric Power Station, is a 40MW power station across the Katsina-Ala River in Nigeria.  Intended to be an 18 megawatt installation, the dam and power station are being reconfigured with a 40 MW power station and the reservoir expanded from 200Mm 3 to 500Mm 3 .  The power generated here is distributed throughout Taraba State, helping to meet about 80 percent of households and businesses, as of 2020.

The purpose of the electricity industry is to solve environmental problems and increase local electricity.  [1] Zutari Engineering of South Arica was hired to do a "technical study" of the dam in 2011. Later, Zutari was hired to do "the complete design of the dam, research  work on the capacity of the port, and, finally, a detailed description of the port".  Zutari also provided engineering services for laying 240 kilometers (149 mi) of 132kV double-circuit overhead transmission lines and 40 kilometers (25 mi) of 33kV double-circuit transmission lines and five new substations.  Commercial operations are scheduled for December 2019. [3]

The power plant is located across Katsina River, near Kashimbila town, Kambove Territory, a town under Takum LGA Wukari Federation, Taraba State, in North-East Nigeria, near the international border with Cameroon.  Kashimbila is about 143 kilometers (89 mi) south of Wukari Town, the nearest town.  [1] This is approximately 354 kilometers (220 mi) southwest of Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State.  [2] The geographic location of Kashimbila Hydroelectric Power Station is: 06°52'27.0"N, 9°45'43.0"E (Latitude:6.874167; Longitude:9.761944).

Kashimbila Dam was constructed during the period 2011 to 2015. Its purpose is multi-purpose.  The first goal is to reduce flooding that affects about 6 million people in Taraba State, Benue State, Cross River State, Kogi State and Delta State.  The second goal is to provide drinking water to neighboring communities, with an estimated population of 400,000 people.  The third objective is to provide clean electricity for consumption, mainly in Taraba state.  The fourth objective is to provide water for irrigation in about 3,000 hectares (12 sq mi).
