After ten years of operating in Nigeria, Transcorp Power Limited, says that the company’s success story stems from its resilience, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to powering progress.
As the power company celebrates its 10 years anniversary, it stressed that it has been a decade of unwavering commitment to powering progress and impact in society.
Transcorp Power Limited, the power subsidiaries of Transcorp Group, was borne out of Transcorp Group’s drive to fulfill its purpose of improving lives and transforming Africa by investing in strategic sectors of the economy that can catalyse growth. Hence, its investment in the 972MW Ughelli Power Plant in 2013.
Transcorp Power Limited (TPL) is a single cycle 972MW installed capacity power generating plant located in Ughelli, Delta State. It is the largest gas-fired power generating station in the country.
The power company has grown impressively over the last decade, becoming one of the leading power companies in the country.
Earlier this year, the company became the first power generation company to be discharged from post-privatisation monitoring by the Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE), having satisfied the requirements of the post-acquisition plan (PAP) compliance.
Speaking at the event to mark ithe 10 years anniversary in Warri, Delta State, Managing Director/CEO of Transcorp Power Limited, Peter Ikenga, said the company will continue to drive sustainable development of the power sector and it’s host community.
“As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Transcorp Power Limited, we reflect on a decade of impactful contributions to the energy sector. I am immensely proud of our team’s dedication and the milestones we’ve achieved,” Ikenga said, adding that the anniversary is not just a testament to the Company’s past successes but a springboard for the future.
“For the last decade, Transcorp Power has been an integral part of its host community, with several community-based projects aimed at improving livelihoods including a vocational skills acquisition program that has empowered over 200 recipients. The Transcorp Staff School which Transcorp Power Limited adopted following the takeover of the Ughelli Plant currently serves the community as well as its employees, guaranteeing a higher quality of education for the children in the community.
“We remain committed to driving positive change and being a catalyst for sustainable development. Thanks to our team, stakeholders, and the communities we serve for being integral parts of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next decade of powering possibilities and lighting up the path to a brighter future,” Ikenga added.
Also, the power generating company celebrated its employees who have been with the company since inception and have contributed significantly to the achievements of the past decade.
