The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has renewed the power generation licence for the Afam VI Power Plant, a 650 MW facility that has delivered over 24.16 million MWh of electricity into the Nigerian grid since 2008. In an announcement on Wednesday, NERC said it had granted extension to the license until 2023 and extended its term by one year from 1 July 2017. Afam VI utilises waste heat energy from the gas turbine exhaust to generate an additional 200 MW from a steam turbine.
