Gas-fired thermal plant
Ughelli Expansion Project Abstract
Transnational Corporation of Nigeria (Transcorp) and General Electric (GE) have signed an agreement to expand the Ughelli power plant's capacity by 1,000MW over the next three to five years. In addition to this, the companies have also signed an agreement for the rehabilitation of the damaged GT 15 turbine at the plant that will add 115MW to the output. Located in Delta State, the plant, which is claimed to be Nigeria's largest gas-fired electricity generation asset, currently has 360MW of capacity, up from 160MW, when it was acquired by Transcorp. In November 2013, Transcorp Ughelli Power, a subsidiary of Transcorp, had acquired 100% ownership of Ughelli Power, the owner and operations of the plant, for around $300m under the 2013 power privatization program. The project calls for the construction of a powerhouse, a substation, gas storage tanks and related infrastructure, the installation of turbines, transformers and generators and the laying of transmission lines. The additional 115MW and the capacity being enhanced from rehabilitation works will increase the plant's total output to 700MW by December 2014.
