“Operations have resumed and the units are working optimally. As of Wednesday morning, the plant was generating 433 megawatts to the national grid,” he said.
According to him, engineers successfully completed repairs and servicing of the cooling infrastructure, allowing a gradual return of generation across the plant’s units.
Ofulue reaffirmed the company’s commitment to operational efficiency, safety standards and increased power output.
