The engineers at Geometric Power and their international colleagues erupted in jubilation at this. Ikechukwu Monday, the Commissioner of Power and Public Utilities for Abia State, joined them.
According to a statement released by the company’s management just today, the 181 megawatt Power plant located in the Osisioma Industrial Layout of Aba in Abia State will be put into service on Monday, February 26, 2024.
President Bola Tinubu was supposed to inaugurate the factory on Saturday, February 24.
The Presidency in Abuja selected the revised date in response to what insiders called unforeseen circumstances.
Together with Aba Power Ltd., the president will officially open the 188 MW thermal plant. This plant will generate power that will be distributed to nine of the state of Abia’s seventeen local government districts.
Geometric Power, which has invested over $800 million in its integrated power project—dubbed the largest investment in the Southeast—has constructed a 27-kilometer natural gas pipeline that runs from Owaza in Ukwa west LGA, Abia State, to the Osisioma Industrial Layout in Aba.
