The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), Jennifer Adighije, has announced the restoration of the 450 megawatts Alaoji Open Cycle Power Plant in Abia State.
The restoration took place after it was shut down in 2023 over gas supply and metering disputes.
Emmanuel Ojor, head of corporate communications and external relations, NDPHC disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.
Mr Ojor quoted Ms Adighije as saying this during a meeting with the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, where she briefed him on efforts taken by the company to revive the power plant.
She explained that the plant was shut down after disparities emerged between metering and trading points, leading gas supplier TotalEnergies to suspend supply to the facility, while debts also accumulated.
