The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has brought the 450MW Alaoji Open Cycle Power Plant back online three years after it was shut down over gas supply and metering disputes.
Managing Director Jennifer Adighije, announced the restoration during a meeting with Abia State Governor Alex Otti. She said the plant is now dispatching about 375MW to the national grid.
The facility was shut down in 2023 after disagreements between metering and trading points led gas supplier TotalEnergies to suspend supply and debts piled up.
Adighije said: “When I assumed office in 2024, reviving Alaoji became a priority.
“We have fixed all remedial works on the defective gas line, cleared our past due obligations to Total, and gas supply has been restored.” Extensive electromechanical works were also completed, bringing three units — GT1, GT22, and GT23 — back into operation.
