The company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Felix Ofulue, confirmed the development on Wednesday in Lagos, saying operations had stabilised and generating units were now functioning optimally.
According to him, the maintenance exercise was carried out to improve operational efficiency and ensure more reliable electricity generation to the national grid.
“Operations have resumed and the units are working optimally. As of Wednesday morning, the plant was generating 433 megawatts to the national grid,” Ofulue said.
He explained that engineers and technical personnel successfully completed work on the cooling infrastructure, allowing gradual restoration of power generation across the plant’s units.
Ofulue also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to safety standards, operational efficiency and increased generation capacity.
Industry stakeholders say the restoration of output from the plant is expected to strengthen electricity supply and support ongoing efforts to improve the stability of the national grid.
