Project Overview
Geometric Power and General Electric are co-developing a major power generation asset in Abia State.
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 bring local expertise, technical competence, and financial strength to the project development, financing, and operation. The partnership responds to Nigeria’s power shortage and the government’s incentives to attract investment in power generation assets.
Project Scale
The OMA Power Project is planned as a three-phase greenfield 1080MW facility located in Abia State, Nigeria.
The first phase is a 500MW gross simple-cycle facility driven by General Electric Frame 9 turbines, a proven technology. It has an option for expansion and upgrade to a 1080MW combined-cycle facility in subsequent phases.

Output planned for delivery through the national grid.
03
Designed with future upgrade to combined-cycle capacity.
Responding to National Demand
Electricity is widely accepted as a basic necessity of life, needed for domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes.
The high and growing demand for electric power in Nigeria has led businesses and individuals to frequent generator use. As an independent power producer, Geometric Power identified an opportunity to provide electric power to the national grid to boost supply and help meet consumption needs.
