The construction of Phase 1 began in 2005 with the appointment of Group Five as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor. Phase 1 has an installed capacity of 191megawatts, which comprises of three (3) units – two (2) GE frames 6B and one GE frame 9E, Gas Turbine Generator (GTG) installed in a simple cycle configuration.
Phase 1 commenced operation on December 13, 2009 with the evacuation of 30megawatts to the national grid. In July 2010, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan officially switched-on Phase 1 of the Ibom power plant.
