Nigerian integrated gas company, Seven Energy International Limited, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Accugas, has commenced supply of gas to the Alaoji Independent Power Project in Alaoji, Abia State.
Gas delivery to the 504 megawatts power station commenced in May 2015, the firm said in a statement.
Accugas is one of two gas suppliers to the plant with an initial contractual commitment to supply 30 million cubic feet per day. The Alaoji project is the largest of Nigeria’s National Integrated Power Projects, the first phase of which was inaugurated in March, 2015.
Speaking on the accomplishment, the Chief Executive Officer, Seven Energy, Mr. Phillip Ihenacho, said, “The reliable supply of gas to the NIPPs has been one of the core obstacles to their completion, and the consequent addition of significant generation capacity to the grid. Seven Energy is pleased to be able to provide this solution, ensuring that Alaoji has access to the gas it needs to commence electricity generation.
“Seven Energy is committed to providing the gas that will support the generation of electricity across Nigeria through our expanding gas distribution network. The addition of Alaoji to our gas supply network means we are now delivering affordable and reliable gas to three of Nigeria’s power stations.
“As a core of Seven Energy’s strategy to meet growing domestic energy demand, the company has continued to invest in the expansion of its gas infrastructure in the south-east Niger Delta region, from its processing hub in Uquo, Akwa Ibom state.”
