The Board and Management of Ibom Power Company hereby inform the general public of a disruption in gas supply to Ibom Power Plant.
This is due to a project to integrate existing gas wells by Seven Energy at their Uqua facility in Esit Eket. The project will allow Seven Energy to double their capacity and thus enhance gas supply reliability to Ibom Power and other companies within the region.
This project will result in a shut-down expected to last for about 5 days, and has caused a planned outage of Unit #3 at Ibom Power Plant.
Consequently, Eket, Uyo, Itu and Calabar transmission substations serving Akwa Ibom and parts of Cross River States will depend on about 60MW supply from the National Grid.
It should be noted that Ibom Power Plant alone currently generates over 110MW under normal conditions while Akwa Ibom State alone can utilize up to 160MW.
Any inconveniences this disruption may cause Akwa Ibom State costumers is regretted as we are working with Seven Energy and other private sector stakeholders to ensure timely restoration for improved power supply in the State.
