According to the public affairs manager of Geometric Power, Oseloka Zikora, the project will involve the construction of a 735-km long gas pipeline under a public-private partnership deal with the Federal Government. The pipeline will run from Calabar via Ajaokuta, to Kaduna to feed the gas-fired turbine plants. The project known as K3, is based on the 'island' model independent of the national grid, with dedicated transmission lines from the power plants to the benefiting states.
