In November 2015, Transcorp Ughelli Power Limited and Ughelli Power Plc merged, and Transcorp Power Limited came onboard. Subsequently, the merger saw the integration of management and operations of Transcorp’s power.
When Transcorp took ownership of the 1,000MW capacity plant in 2013, its aim was generating only 160MW of power daily, however, it is now producing at its full 972MW installed capacity.
Presently, Transcorp Power has increased its generating capacity by 525 percent, and plans to grow it to over 3,000MW in the next five years.
