Background
The plant is the largest power generating station in Nigeria.[14]
In 1982, construction of the plant commenced.[14][15]
In July 1985, the first unit was commissioned.[15]
In November 1986, the sixth unit was commissioned.[15]
In 2006, unit six of the plant suffered a boiler tube explosion. Its rehabilitation lasted 3 months and was completed in January 2015.[16]
In 2007, KEPCO Energy Resources offered to pay US $280 million to acquire 51 percent of the power plant.[17] KEPCO paid 10% of the bid amount to express interest.[18] However, as a result of power purchase and gas supply agreement issues, the privatization process was halted.[18]
In November 2013, 70% of the company was acquired by KEPCO at US $407.3 million. The other 30% is held by the Government of Nigeria.[19][20][21]
Egbin Power Plc plans to increase its generation capacity to 2,640 MW over three to four years at a cost of US $1.8 billion.[22] The project is expected to help meet the growing energy demand.
In December 2015, Reuters reported that the company had talks with Exim Bank, the World Bank and African Development Bank were ongoing to fund the Phase II expansion plan.[23] The company spent US $250 million to commission engineering analysis and evacuation studies for transmission.[23]
In March 2016, it was announced that the plant may be closed due to financial strains.[24]
In December 2017, the plant commenced commercial operations.[25]
In 2022, Egbin Power intends to begin the first phase of the expansion project starting with the construction of open-cycle turbines.[26]
In 2025, Egbin expects to finish the construction of closed-cycle units.[26]
