Seplat Eyes Power Sector Investment to Tackle Deficit in Off-Grid Communities

May 30, 2025

The Federal Government on Tuesday officially transferred operations of the Zungeru Hydroelectric Power Plant, the largest hydropower in Nigeria, to Penstock Limited.

Report has it that Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited was earlier selected in February 2023 for the same project.

According to a signed statement by Stanley Nkwocha, a senior special assistant to the vice president on Media and Communication, It is expected that Tuesday’s move would  “boost Nigeria’s power generation capacity and contribute significantly to meeting the country’s growing energy demands,”

The statement titled ‘FG finally hands over Zungeru Hydroelectric power plant to the concessionaire.’

It came one year after the National Council on Privatisation, on February 23, 2023, approved the appointment of Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited as the preferred bidder for the concession of the Zungeru Hydroelectric Power Plant.

However, it was noticed that Penstock Limited was not one of the three companies shortlisted in December 2022 to present proposals for the concession.

Recall that in the bidding process, 11 consortiums had sent Requests for Qualification out of which three—NSP Consortium, Mainstream Energy, and Africa Plus Partners—were shortlisted.

The 740MW Zungeru power facility located at the upper and middle reaches of River Kaduna in Niger State is the largest hydropower project in Nigeria. Though conceived in 1982, construction works only commenced in 2013 following a deal with two Chinese firms-China National Electrical Equipment Corporation and Sinohydro Consortium.

According to the Bureau of Public Enterprises, the project has gulped around $1.3bn, with a preferential loan facility from the Export-Import Bank of China.

With the FG providing 25 percent funding for the project, the Exim Bank will fund 75 percent with low-interest loans.

The facility is expected to produce 2.64bn kWh of electricity annually and meet around 10 percent of Nigeria’s total domestic energy requirements. It was commissioned in 2023.

At the first meeting of the NCP for 2024 held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the council announced significant progress in the Plant concession, including the official transfer of the plant’s operations to Penstock Limited.

The concession agreement was signed on December 13, 2023, by the BPE and Penstock Limited.

Following Council approval, the Concessionaire fulfilled its obligation by paying 50 percent of the commencement fees on January 5, 2024.

The official handover ceremony took place on January 23, 2024, officially transferring the plant’s operations to Penstock Limited.
