Egbin Power Plc has announced the restoration of normal power generation operations in its plant after a minor fire incident that led to its temporary shutdown.

This was disclosed by the Group Managing Director of Sahara Power, owners of the Egbin Power Plant, Mr Kola Adesina, during a chat, where he said that as at Saturday, a unit of the plant with installed 220 megawatts has commenced operation.

What the GMD of Sahara Power is saying about resumption of operations

Adesina in his statement said, “The plant is not completely out of operation as erroneously reported.
