Background
It is the largest fossil-fuel-based power generating station in the country.[3] The plant was called Delta I under the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN).
In 1964, the plant was built with a generating capacity of 72 MW.[4]
In 1975, six units, 5 gas turbines (20 MW each) were installed in the station known as Delta II, after the merger of Niger Dam Authority (NDA), Kainji, and the ECN to form the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA).[4]
In 1978, an additional six units of GE Frame 5 gas turbines, like the ones installed in 1975, were added to Delta Power Station (Known as Delta III) and boosted the total installed capacity to 312MW.[4]
In 1991, the station was upgraded with the addition of six 100 MW (total of 600 MW) GE Frame 9 gas turbines.[4]
From 2000 to 2008, Delta II and Delta III GE units were upgraded to 150 MW stations.[5]
In September 2012, Transcorp Ughelli Power Limited (TUPL) won the US $300m bid to acquire the Ughelli Power Plant.[5]
In 2015, Symbion Power was divested.[5]
In November 2013, Transcorp Power officially took physical ownership of Ughelli Power Plc.[5]
