Background
In September 2014, Lafarge Africa, Finland’s Wartsila, and the World Bank’s IFC agreed to build a 220 MW gas-fired power plant in Nigeria to boost electricity supplies. The plan is to add a 220 MW power plant to Lafarge Africa’s existing 90 MW plant.[3]
The existing plant only uses 50 MW and feeds into the grid about 40 MW of excess power. Therefore about 260 MW will go to the national grid under a power purchase agreement.[4]
Under the agreement, Wartsila will build and manage the power plant, while Lafarge Africa will manage the project.[4] The International Finance Corporation (IFC) will provide financial support and advisory services. The project cost is estimated at US $400 million (N78.8 billion).[5] The plant is expected to help increase power supplies to the national grid to provide electricity to about 1.4 million households.[6]
In July 2015, Lafarge Nigeria reported that its newly built plant would start operation in October 2015.[5]
