Egbin Power Plc has resumed electricity generation with an output of 433 megawatts following the completion of maintenance works on its cooling system.
The company’s spkesman, Felix Ofulue, confirmed the development on Wednesday in Lagos.
Mr Ofulue said operations had stabilised, with available generating units now functioning optimally to support improved power supply to the national grid.
According to him, the maintenance exercise was carried out to enhance operational efficiency and sustain reliable electricity generation.
“Operations have resumed and the units are working optimally. As of Wednesday morning, the plant was generating 433 megawatts to the national grid,” he said.
He explained that engineers and technical personnel successfully completed the maintenance on the cooling infrastructure, enabling gradual restoration of generation across the plant’s units.
Mr Ofulue reiterated the company’s commitment to operational efficiency, safety standards and improved power generation capacity.
Industry stakeholders said the restoration of generation from the plant would strengthen electricity supply and support ongoing efforts to improve grid stability nationwide.
The Egbin power plant, located in Ikorodu, Lagos, has an installed capacity of 1,320MW, with six generating units of 220MW each.
The plant remains the largest thermal power generation station in the country and a major contributor to electricity supply across the country.
