Sahara
Power Resource Ltd.
Established in 2001 to supply gas oil to the
emergency power project for the Nigerian Electric
Authority (NEPA), the company’s core
business lies in the planning and provisioning
of Independent Power Plants (IPP).
The company partnered with a major Chilean
company to provide solutions to power sector
reform initiatives of the Nigerian Government.
Through an SPV, the company commenced Phase
I development of a 1250 Megawatts gas powered
IPP in 2005 in Nigeria. This phase on completion
will generate 250 Megawatts through 3 open
cycle GE gas turbine units. Subsequent phases
will bring the total output of the facility
to 1250 Megawatts.
Sahara Power is also involved in regional
reforms in West Africa, capitalizing on
the West African Gas Pipeline to install
IPP’s in Ghana and Benin Republic.
