Background
The Nasarawa Coal power station was listed in the Transmission Company of Nigeria's (TCN) Transmission Expansion Plan from December 2017. The proposed power station would have a capacity of 500 MW and was expected to be commissioned by 2034. [1]
The 2017 Transmission Expansion Plan included five other proposed coal-fired power plants that Nigeria expected to commission by 2037, including the Ashaka power station, Ugboba power station (presumed to be the ‘Ramos’ power station in the plan), Ashaka/TPGL power station, Ezinmo power station (former Benue Coal power station), and Enugu power station.[1]
In 2019, other sources referred to a 1000 MW Nasarawa Coal power station that the Nasarawa State government was reportedly developing with General Electric.[2][3]
In 2021, media reports were still mentioning Nigeria's plan to develop six new coal-fired power plants by 2037,[4][5] but as of July 2023, there had been no apparent progress on the Nasarawa Coal project since it was announced in the TCN's 2017 Transmission Expansion Plan. The power plant appeared to be cancelled.
