Ownership
In November 2013, following the Nigerian Government's privatisation of the power sector, Egbin Power PLC was handed over to a joint venture between Sahara Power Group and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).
Sahara Group is Africa's largest privately-run power business. KEPCO is South Korea's national electricity utility and one of the world's leading power companies. Together they have committed to restoring Egbin to its full 1,320 MW capacity and expanding toward 5,000 MW in the future.

Operations
Egbin Power PLC operates a closed system based on the Reheat-Regenerative Rankine cycle. The process begins from deep water wells where water is sustainably sourced and used to generate steam for power generation using six steam turbine generators.
The six units are dual-fired Hitachi turbines capable of running on both natural gas and High Pour Fuel Oil (HPFO). Power is wheeled to the national grid at the most cost-effective rate achievable within optimal levels of efficiency and global HSE compliance standards.
