The commencement of work on Phase One of the estate’s electrification marks a pivotal milestone in Palm Villa. The contract was awarded to Absef Engineering Limited – a major electrical company in Nigeria. This bold infrastructure push doesn’t just deliver 24/7 grid connectivity; it lays the groundwork for a stable electricity supply within the estate.

On July 9, 2025, Palm Villa officially began the erection of poles to the estate for its base station from the national 132 kV commercial power line.
Fulfilling one of the unique selling points of Palm Villa, the first phase of this project is set to ideally deliver approximately 0.18MW of power to the estate. With a budget exceeding ₦100 million, this phase covers poles installation, bases station foundation works, and underground cable laying within the estate, among others. It is estimated to be completed for connectivity within 2 months.

According to the project site manager – Engr. Charles Osagie, the second phase work will comprise solar energy backup systems planning and installation for the common areas and the individual units. The third phase will include a backup diesel generator to ensure power availability should the national grid fail at any point.
Upon completion of the final phase, it is anticipated that 750 kVA power capacity shall be available for future residential and commercial load growth.

Looking ahead, Palm Villa’s vision for uninterrupted 24/7 electricity continues into Phases Two and three will introduce a hybrid energy mix: solar arrays paired with diesel generators to guarantee seamless, around-the-clock electricity.
The entire power project is budgeted at over ₦500 million, positioning it as a flagship infrastructure investment for modern estate development in Edo State.
Palm Villa’s ₦100 million Phase-One power line push is more than a utility upgrade; it’s a strategic bet on future infrastructure strength. The two-month timeline is to ensure availability of power for initial residents of the estate, while the future upgrade to 750 kVA readies the estate for sustained growth. With total project costs exceeding ₦500 million, this development underpins a high-standard, grid-powered vision, setting a new benchmark in estate development in Benin City, Edo State.
