Background
Afam (FIPL) power station is a two-unit power plant. The natural gas is supplied by Shell Nigeria.[1] Accugas supplies up to 35 MMscfpd (million standard cubic feet per day) of gas to FIPL’s Afam power plant.[1]It is part of the four Afam gas plants, including the Afam IV power station (450 MW)[7] , Afam V power station (276 MW)[8], and Afam VI power station (650 MW)[9].In 2010 and 2011, the contract for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of the first and second units were awarded to Saipem. In September 2013, the project reached a financial close.[10] Each unit exports an average of 3500 MWh per day into the national grid.[1]The power plant was privatized as part of Nigeria's efforts to restructure and reform the energy sector, and USAID provided technical assistance in the process.[10] Natural gas for the operation of the Afam turbine is supplied from Shell Nigeria.
