GE will build a 500MW gas fired power plant in Ondo State, Nigeria. The company will supply four Frame 9E gas turbines, generators and accessories in addition to technical assistance and training. The EPC contractor for the project will be China Machinery & Equipment Company (CMEC) as GE maintains a longstanding work relationship with CMEC particularly in the power generation industry. Owned and operated by the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), the plant will generate 500MW to Nigeria’s grid once complete. Completion is scheduled for 2013 as the Nigerian government has set a goal to add 35GW of new electricity generation over the next ten years. Shipment of the four 9E gas turbines for Omotosho Phase 2 is scheduled for 2011.
