In September 2012, during the privatisation of Nigeria’s national power assets, Transcorp Plc won the bid for the Federal Government of Nigeria’s distressed power generating company, Ughelli Power Plc – operator of Ughelli Power Plant. The $300 million investment was part of strategic investor Heirs Holdings’ commitment to USAID’s Power Africa initiative.
In November 2015, Transcorp Ughelli Power Limited and Ughelli Power Plc merged, and Transcorp Power Plc was born. The merger harmonized the management and operations of Transcorp’s power business for greater efficiency.
Getting things done, ownership & accountability. It is our burning desire to always see things to completion in a timely & efficient manner.
Ingenuity, Determination & Hard work. We have the willingness and determination to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Quality, Distinction, Exceptionalism. We strive to deliver in an outstanding manner consistently.
When Transcorp took ownership of the 1000 MW capacity plant in 2013, our mission was to take it from generating only 160 MW of power daily, back to producing at its full 972 MW installed capacity.Today, Transcorp Power has increased its generating capacity by 525%, and plans to grow it to over 3,000 MW in the next five years. The electricity produced by Transcorp Power is transported through a network of conductors, to the national grid.
We are dedicated to forging partnerships that will bring about meaningful change in the sector. Our vision is not only to meet the immediate electricity needs of Nigeria but to also position the country as a regional leader in power generation and distribution, thereby contributing to a brighter, more prosperous future for all Nigerians.
Our 972 MW gas-fired power plant is the cornerstone of our commitment to driving positive change in the economy and the lives of the people we serve. We harness the power of clean and efficient energy generation to light up industries, homes, and businesses to power the wheels of progress.
At Transcorp Power, we attribute our continued success to the exceptional individuals who make up our dedicated team. Their commitment and motivation are sources of immense pride and gratitude for us. Our reliance on this talented workforce drives us to continually exceed our own expectations.
As thought leaders in the power sector, we are acutely aware of the evolving power industry landscape. To ensure we remain at the forefront, we have adopted a proactive approach, strategically positioning ourselves to capitalize on the opportunities in the market, optimizing our resources, and embracing innovation.
