Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has announced the restoration of the 450 megawatts Alaoji Open Cycle Power Plant in Abia state after it was shut down in 2023 over gas supply and metering disputes.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Jennifer Adighije, disclosed this during a meeting with the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, when she briefed the governor on efforts taken by the company to revive the power plant.
In a statement in Abuja by the Head, Corporate Communications & External Relations, NDPHC, Emmanuel Ojor, Adighije explained that the plant was shut down after disparities emerged between metering and trading points, leading the gas supplier, TotalEnergies, to suspend supply to the facility, while debts also accumulated.
