Background
The plant is a three-unit power plant.[5]The units are expected to come online in 2024.[6]
In December 2017, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) announced they had plans to build three natural gas-fired power plants in the country.[7] The plants include the Abuja power station, Kaduna power station, and Kano power station and have a total generation capacity of 4600 MW.[6]
The plants would receive fuel from the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline project.[7] The US $2.8 billion pipeline project would make it possible to supply natural gas to the power plants.[7]
In March 2019, it was reported the Gas and Power Investment Company (GPIC), a subsidiary of NNPC, announced that “the power plants which are part of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation -NNPC’s Downstream Project transmission gas pipeline, will be in Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano, with a combined cycle of gas.”[8]
