Background
Chevron Nigeria Limited and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC JV) plan to construct and operate the Agura Independent Power Project (AIPP). The plant will be developed in three phases.[6] Natural gas will be procured from NGC Escravos Lagos Pipeline System.
The project is a response to meet the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) directives and targets for International Oil Companies (IOCs) operating in Nigeria to help meet domestic electricity demand.[6] The project is expected to cost US$700 million.[7]
In Phase 1, a 330 MW simple cycle power plant will be constructed. Activities covered in Phase 1 include installing the power block and fuel gas pipeline.[6] In Phase 2, 165 MW of generating capacity will be added to the plant.[6] In Phase 3, the plant will be converted to a combined cycle configuration by adding two heat recovery steam generators and one steam generator. The total plant capacity will be 720 MW.[6]
In February 2013, the Federal Government of Nigeria concluded an agreement to relocate the plant from Agura, Lagos State, to Ogidigbie, Delta State.[8] In November 2013, the Environmental Impact Assessment for Phase 1 was completed and published to fulfill World Bank Group requirements for financing. However, the project faced delay due to the non-completion of key commercial agreements, including securing gas supply and a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).[6] In 2015, the Nigerian government renewed Chevron's oil license, which holds 40% interest in the Agura plant. Chevron was thus expected to proceed with its Agura project.[9]
