Why it matters
- If completed, it would add 413 MW to Nigeria's oil & gas fleet — equivalent to 3.8% of today's operating oil & gas capacity.
- Gas-fired plants — especially combined-cycle units — provide flexible output that can ramp quickly to balance demand and variable renewables, so their availability is closely tied to gas supply and prices.
