Siemens received an order for the key components of the Azura-Edo IPP power plant in the south of Nigeria. The turnkey plant, with a total installed electrical generating capacity of 459 MW, will be constructed in collaboration with the local Julius Berger Nigeria PLC construction company.
The customer is the independent power provider Azura Power West Africa.
Siemens has also been awarded a long-term service contract for maintenance and service of the plant for a period of 12 years. Siemens Financial Services (SFS) has been involved in the structuring of the financing since 2012 and is contributing $50 million to partially fund the development, construction, and operation of the project’s first phase. The commissioning is scheduled for July 2018.
Siemens will supply three SGT5-2000E gas turbines, three SGen-100A generators as well as the SPPA-T3000 control system for the turbines. The Azura-Edo IPP power plant will be constructed near the town of Benin City, directly neighboring the main gas pipelines in Nigeria. Azura-Edo IPP is part of a planned power plant project by Azura Power West Africa, in which a total capacity of 1.5 GW is to be installed in several phases.
