Partnership Overview
Geometric Power Limited, GP, a Nigerian independent power producer, and General Electric, GE, of the USA, are co-developing the OMA Power Project, a multi-phased, greenfield gas-fired power plant in Abia State, Nigeria.
GP and GE are both highly reputable organizations in the power sector, bringing together local expertise, technical competence and financial strength to the project’s development, financing and operation.
The partnership was established in response to Nigeria's power shortage and the government’s incentives to attract investors for the development of power generation assets.
Greenfield Gas-Fired Facility
Project Developers
Incorporated in 1892, GE is a globally acclaimed leader in the power industry. As a diversified technology and financial services company, GE has a longstanding commitment to supporting power development initiatives worldwide.
Incorporated in 2000, GP is an indigenous Nigerian company with proven expertise in the development, ownership and operation of power generation and distribution assets.
Geometric Power’s vision is to promote industrialization and drive positive economic growth in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa by establishing world-class, independently operated power plants that deliver affordable and reliable electricity to industries, commercial enterprises and other customers.
Project Overview
The OMA Power Project is a 3-phase, greenfield 1080MW gas-fired power facility located in Abia State, Nigeria.
The first phase of the project will be a 500MW gross simple-cycle facility driven by General Electric Frame 9 turbines, a proven and widely trusted technology.
Subsequent phases will involve expansion and an upgrade to a 1080MW combined-cycle facility. The plant will be fueled by natural gas, a readily available resource in the Niger Delta region, which is in close proximity to the project site.
Power Supply and Delivery
The entire output from the power plant is intended to be delivered to customers through the national grid, supporting the broader goal of boosting Nigeria’s electricity supply.
The project aligns with the national goal of providing reliable and affordable energy to drive economic growth and improve quality of life.

Final Expansion
Addressing Nigeria’s Energy Deficit
Electricity is widely regarded as a basic necessity of life, essential for domestic, commercial and industrial purposes. Nigeria faces a significant and growing demand for electric power, which has led to the frequent use of generators by businesses and households to supplement power supply.
To address this challenge, GP is leveraging its position as an independent power producer to increase its portfolio of power generation technologies and services. By investing in the OMA Power Project, GP aims to strengthen the national grid and support Nigeria’s broader energy goals.
The OMA Power Project reflects the commitment of Geometric Power and General Electric to address Nigeria’s power deficit. By delivering 500MW of power in its first phase and planning for future expansion, the project is positioned to contribute to national energy needs, reduce reliance on costly backup generators and foster economic growth.
