The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Engr. Jennifer Adighije has disclosed that operations at the 450 megawatts Alaoji Open Cycle Power Plant in Abia State has been restored after it was shut down in 2023 over gas supply and metering disputes.
Adighije disclosed this during a meeting with the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, where she briefed the governor 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.
