List of power stations in Nigeria
- This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
There are currently two main types of power plants operating in Nigeria: (1) hydro-electric and (2) thermal or fossil fuel power plants. There have been two main types of fossil fuel/thermal power plants in the country: (i) coal-fired and (ii) natural gas-fired.
Ownership
The power plants are classified, based on ownership, as either:
- Fully owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN). There is a plan to privatize these power plants.
- Owned by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC). The NDPHC is owned by the three tiers of government in Nigeria (Federal, State and Local). These power plants are referred to as being part of the National Integrated Power Project (NIPP).
- Wholly owned by state governments and/or private companies/individuals. Such a power plant is referred to as being an Independent Power Producer (IPP).
Capacity, generation and demand
As of December 2013, the total installed or nameplate capacity (maximum capacity) of the power plants was 6,953 MW. Available capacity was 4,598 MW. Actual average generation was 3,800 MW.[1]
As of December 2014, the total installed capacity of the power plants was 7,445 MW. Available capacity was 4,949 MW.[2] Actual average generation was less than 3,900 MW.
The Presidential Task Force on Power's peak demand forecast is 12,800 MW (April 2015).
