Government and a United States firm, General Electric (GE), have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding to inject 250 megawatts into the national grid.

The Minister who also stated that siting of gas-fired plant in Rivers State which is a hub for gas would eliminate the threat of vandalism to its plants.
He called for investment in smaller quantum to enable the country realise its vision of access to power for all and advised the company to cash-in on the provisions of the Africa Power Initiative of President Barrack Obama as well as liaise with General Electric, GE, for the purpose of firming up a buy-in into its recently launched sponsorship programme for investors in the power sector.
