Egbin Plant's Electricity Generation Hits 1000MW

Nigeria’s largest power generation
plant, Egbin Power Plc, for the first
time in eight years is generating above
1,000 megawatts of electricity.
The Chairman, Egbin Power Plc, Mr.
Kola Adesina, said the transformation
was the result of the privatization
process.
He attributed the achievement partly
to the direct intervention of the
Federal Government in its
determination to resolve the power
crisis, which had resulted in recent
improvements in gas supply.
“This is driving the increase in power
supply in the nation and boosting
socio-economic development," he
added.
The company’s Chief Executive
Officer, Dallas Peavey, said the
transformation in Egbin commenced
following its acquisition by Kepco
Energy Resource Limited, in
collaboration with its technical
partners, Korea Electric Power
Corporation.
