Azura-Edo IPP - Nigeria
The Azura-Edo IPP is a 461MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine power station, the first project initiated by Azura Power.
We focus on opportunities where we can add significant capacity to the national grid, developing gas-fired projects or those with the ability to convert to gas.
Our operating and in commissioning plants have a total capacity of 884MW, and our portfolio includes a further 1232MW of generating capacity which is in development. Through the continued expansion and diversification of our portfolio, we are focused on building a pipeline of globally competitive development and acquisition opportunities.
We recognise the need to measure and optimise our impact. Strong ESG principles and practices lie at the heart of all decision-making and inform the design of every aspect of our business to ensure sustainability.
Gas provides a reliable, cost-effective source of fuel for the level of power generation required to drive industrial growth and create jobs at scale. In addition, our plants provide important ancillary services to the grid, including frequency response and black start, which are critical to grids in developing economies that are often unstable, or where there is significant renewable generation.
By providing robust offtake agreements, we support African Governments to develop indigenous gas resources, create high quality industrial infrastructure and boost energy access and independence. This reduces reliance on costly imports, mitigates vulnerability to price shocks and generates significant revenues for nations under pressure to serve fast-growing societies.
By driving the emergence of new technologies, we are developing Africa’s future energy solutions today.

The Azura-Edo IPP is a 461MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine power station, the first project initiated by Azura Power.
The 116MW Tobene Power plant in Senegal began operations in 2016. It is one of the most efficient plants on the Senegalese grid.
The 175MW gas fired CTRG project is our flagship project in Mozambique.
The 132MW Malicounda Power plant in Senegal, which was originally developed by Melec PowerGen Inc, is currently in commissioning and is expected to be in operation Q3 2022. The plant is contracted but not currently owned by Azura. Azura expects the acquisition of Malicounda to complete in Q3 2023.
Azura-Nova is our 100MW solar power plant, currently under development on a 200 hectare site in Katsina State, Nigeria.
We are currently working on the gas conversion projects of Tobene and Malicounda, as well as in the process of developing other projects in country including a 120MW CCGT at the Kounoune power plant site.
In Mozambique we currently have 362MW of projects spread between development, acquisition and expansion.
