Africa will build the largest natural gas thermal power station

Pre-selected sites for new power stations

Japan's Marubi and Nigeria's large power company Egbin power will build a large-scale natural gas composite thermal power station with a power generation capacity of 1.
8 million kilowatts
.
It is reported that the power station is expected to become the largest natural gas thermal power station
in Africa after completion.

Egbin power, a large Nigerian power company, plans to build a 1.
8 GW power station near an already established power station
in Lagos State.
On August 29, Marubeni announced that the company and Nigeria's large power company exchanged memorandums of understanding
on the construction of large-scale natural gas composite thermal power plant business investigation.
The agreement was signed in January 2018 and the project
is expected to start in 2021.

Marubeni contracted the power station, which had already been built, and contracted 40% of the country's existing power supply
.
Nigeria's population is expected to reach around 400 million by 2050, but lack of electricity is limiting economic development
.
Therefore, it is necessary to build large-scale power stations to meet the economic development
.

The turbines and boilers at the power station are produced by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, and infrastructure exports are financed by the Bank for International Cooperation and government funds are being adjusted
