Egbin Power Plant Adds 1,000MW To National Grid

The Egbin Power Plc, Nigeria’s largest generation plant, is now generating above 1,000mw consistently into the national grid, chairman of the company, Mr Kola Adesina, has revealed.
Giving an update on the activities of the company in Lagos recently, Adesina noted that “this is the first time since inception of the power plant that it will achieve the feat because of the continuing investment and upgrade activities on the plant by the new investors – Sahara Power Group and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).”
He recalled that eight years ago, the plant hit the 1,000mw mark for barely two hours and never attained it again until now; and that prior to the privatisation and handover of the plant in November 2013, Egbin averaged generation of below 500mw due to the dismal state of its six units which, at its lowest point, had only two of the six units operational.
