Background
The plant is one of the first independent power plants in Nigeria.[8]
In May 2008, the company received a license from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to generate electricity. The license was amended to 685 MW to accommodate both the 191 MW Phase 1 and the proposed 500 MW Phase 2. Ibom power receives gas from Accugas, a subsidiary of Seven Energy, based on a 10-year Gas Sales and Purchase Agreement (GSPA).[8]
The development of the plant started as a captive power plant for the proposed Akwa Refinery and Petrochemical Company. The development of the refinery was aborted in 2002 but the power plant project continued development.[8]
In 2005, the construction of Phase 1 began with the appointment of Group Five as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor.[8]
In December 2001, Phase 1 commenced operation with 30 MW fed to the national grid.[8]
In July 2010, president at the time officially switched on phase 1 of the Ibom power plant.[8]
In December 2014, Ibom power submitted an application to amend its license from 191 MW to 685 MW.[8]
In October 2015, NERC approved the application to amend its license.[8]
In November 2015, his Excellency, Mr. Udom Emmanuel received the amended license on behalf of Ibom power Management.[8]
In August 2019, NERC renewed Ibom Power’s 685 MW license.[8]
January 2022, the Managing Director of the power firm, said the license acquired had been renewed until 2028.[9]
