Omoku Plant

Located in the heart of Rivers State's energy corridor, the Omoku Power Plant plays a strategic role in delivering reliable electricity to Nigeria's national grid. As one of the region's major power generation facilities, it strengthens grid stability while supporting industrial growth and economic development across the country. The Omoku Power Plant has an installed capacity of 150MW, comprising six 25MW GE Nuovo Pignone heavy-duty gas turbines. The plant generates electricity for the national grid through its on-site 132kV switching facility, which connects to the Rumuosi Transmission Substation. Strategically located adjacent to the NAOC Gas Processing Plant in Obrikom, the facility benefits from a reliable natural gas supply that supports efficient and continuous operations. Commissioned in 2006, the Omoku Power Plant remains one of FIPL's flagship assets, delivering dependable power through world-class operational standards.

Eleme Plant

The Eleme Power Plant reflects FIPL's commitment to transforming energy infrastructure and unlocking new generation capacity. Positioned within one of Nigeria's foremost industrial corridors, the plant supports growing electricity demand while reinforcing power reliability for industries and communities. Originally a non-operational facility, the station was revitalized in 2001 when FIPL refurbished and commissioned a 20MW GE LM2500 gas turbine. As part of its long-term expansion strategy, FIPL replaced the legacy turbine with three 25MW GE Nuovo Pignone Frame 5 gas turbines, increasing the plant's installed capacity to 75MW. The project achieved hot commissioning in December 2023, representing another milestone in FIPL's continued investment in modern, efficient generation assets.

Our Work Process

How We Power Nigeria

Our approach ensures every project is executed with precision, safety, and sustainability at the core.

Gas Supply

Our power generation process begins with a reliable supply of natural gas delivered through dedicated pipeline infrastructure. This fuel serves as the primary energy source, ensuring efficient, stable, and continuous electricity production.

GT Operations

At the heart of our plant are advanced Gas Turbines (GTs), where natural gas is combusted to produce mechanical energy. This energy drives generators that convert it into electrical power with high efficiency and operational reliability.

Voltage Step-Up

The electricity generated is passed through step-up transformers that increase the voltage for efficient long-distance transmission. This minimizes energy losses and ensures power is delivered safely across the transmission network.

Connecting to the National Grid

The stepped-up electricity is transmitted through high-voltage transmission lines and integrated into the national grid, supplying homes, industries, businesses, and essential services with dependable power.
