The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission awarded a generating license to Dangote Industry Power Ltd.

Dangote plans to generate 135 megawatts of electricity at the proposed plant out of which 46 megawatts will be consumed by its Obajana Cement plant in the central Nigerian state of Kogi. The remaining 89 megawatts will be sold to the national grid.

The regulator has granted 29 licenses to companies to produce power to boost generation to 6,000 megawatts by the end of this year and 10,000 megawatts by 2011.

  1. This is a commendable initiative. Although it is not an easy task, yet it will help alleviate the hardship faced by manufacturers. We need more people like Dangote to partner with government to help generate power all over the country.
