List of power stations in Nigeria
There are currently two main types of power plants operating in Nigeria: (1) hydro-electric and (2) thermal or fossil fuel power plants. With a total installed capacity of 8457.6MW (81 percent of total) in early 2014, thermal power plants (gas-fired plants) dominates the Nigerian power supply mix. Electricity production from hydroelectric sources (% of total) in Nigeria was reported at 17.59 % in 2014, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. There have been two main types of fossil fuel/thermal power plants in the country: (i) coal-fired and (ii) natural gas-fired.
The power plants are classified, based on ownership, as either:
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.
As of December 2014, the total installed capacity of the power plants was 7,445 MW. Available capacity was 4,949 MW. 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).
Working below capacity due to gas supply issues. [30]

I: 1966 (decommissioned), II: 1975 6 x 25 MW, III: 1978 6 x 25 MW, IV: 1990 6 x 100 MW
Ibom Power Plant presently consist of two GE Frame 6B and one Frame 9E turbine generators installed in a simple cycle configuration, using the conventional open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) technology. These three gas turbines are: GTG 1(Model PG 6551B), GTG 2(Model PG 6561B), and GTG3 (Model PG 9171E) combined to give an installed capacity of 191MW.
The project is actually a 1200 MW power plant to be divided into 4 phases of 2 units each. The project has almost achieved financial close and execution of construction agreement.
