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 2016, the combined cycle gas power plant supplied 40 percent of Nigeria's grid-electricity. Afam VI utilises waste heat energy from the gas turbine exhaust to generate an additional 200 MW from a steam turbine.
