ELECTRICITY: NDPHC restores 450MW Alaoji plant

NDPHC Restarts 450MW Alaoji Power Plant Three Years After Shutdown

NDPHC has restarted the 450MW Alaoji Open Cycle Power Plant in Abia State after a 2023 shutdown caused by gas metering disputes and debt to TotalEnergies, with three generating units now delivering ~375MW to the national grid. For infrastructure and industrial operators in southeast Nigeria, this restores a significant grid injection point, with potential expansion to 1,100MW and a state-level bilateral supply deal under negotiation under Nigeria's evolving Electricity Act framework.
