“It would be recalled that the NCP at its 7th meeting for the year 2020, held on December 21, 2020, approved the concession of the ZHPP, consequent which the Federal Ministry of Power (FMOP) donated an irrevocable Power of Attorney to the BPE on June 30, 2021 for the implementations of the NCP’s decision.

“Based on this, the BPE published the Requests for Qualifications (RfQ) for the concession of the power plant in three national newspapers on October 27, 2022 which at the close of the deadline, 11 firms submitted bids.

“Three of them – Africa Plus Partners Nigeria Limited Consortium (APPNLC), Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited (MESL and North-South Power Consortium (NSP) were prequalified,” the statement said.

In another development, the NCP has approved A scheme of External Restructuring proposed by KEPCO Energy Resources Nigeria Limited (KERNL),the core Investor in Egbin Power Plant.

The approval is to enable the entity to boost its capacity to raise the required capital to double the existing capacity of the plant to 2,640MW. (vitalnewsngr.com)
