A firm, Phoenix Steel Mills, has announced significant improvements in productivity, operational efficiency, and energy stability, following its participation in the Eligible Customer Programme of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).
 
The firm, through the programme, says it now enjoys direct access to a reliable electricity supply from NDPHC’s generation assets, drastically reducing its reliance on unstable grid supply and costly self-generation alternatives.
 
According to the firm, the intervention has minimised power-related disruptions, reduced operational costs, and enhanced production output—positioning it to expand its capacity and strengthen its competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.
 
Managing Director/CEO of NDPHC, Jennifer Adighije, who spoke on the development, hailed Phoenix Steel Mills as a success story of the eligible customer programme and reaffirmed NDPHC’s commitment to deepening Nigeria’s industrial competitiveness.

“The eligible customer framework is designed to strengthen Nigeria’s industrial growth by guaranteeing efficient, reliable, and affordable electricity directly from our plants to businesses. Phoenix Steel Mills is a clear demonstration of how stable power translates into higher productivity, cost savings, and stronger value chains for the economy,” Adighije said.
 
Meanwhile, Phoenix Steel Mills has joined a growing number of industrial players across Nigeria, leveraging the NDPHC eligible customer programme to unlock efficiency, sustain growth, and drive national economic development.
