Enugu Power Station

The Enugu Power Station is a proposed 600 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station by Indian Power Company Essar Group for Enugu, Nigeria.

The Enugu State government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Essar for the station in June, 2011. According to the Guardian: "The agreement is aimed at exploring the abandoned large deposits of coal in the state for the purpose of electricity generation." The station will use coal sourced from mines in the state to generate power.
