Katsina State government and GENESIS Energy have partnered in a move to advance energy efficiency in the country.
The state government recently made an on-site assessment of the energy infrastructure deployment capacity of GENESIS Energy.
The government has continued to create an enabling environment to attract investments with focus on provision of energy security to support investments.
Thus, in a significant demonstration of its commitment to advancing energy infrastructure and sustainable power solutions in Nigeria, GENESIS Energy Group, recently hosted governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State on a milestone visit to the company’s facilities in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
The visit underscores the growing collaboration between state governments and private sector players in addressing Nigeria’s energy needs, while also reinforcing Genesis Energy’s role in delivering sustainable power solutions nationwide.

Dedicated to lighting up communities across the continent, GENESIS, in collaboration with its strategic partners, has a proven track record of developing, owning, and managing viable energy projects.
The governor, welcomed by the leadership team of GENESIS Energy Group, toured the company’s 84MW off-grid power plant at the Port Harcourt Refinery, the largest licensed facility of its kind in Nigeria.

Following this, the Governor proceeded to Genesis Energy’s Lagos power plant in Banana Island, Ikoyi, which features 2×7.5MVA and 15MVA Injection Substations operating at 33/11KV. This facility ensures uninterrupted electricity to commercial and residential areas, further cementing GENESIS Energy’s position as a trusted energy solutions provider
Commenting on the facility’s technological advancements and operational excellence, governor Radda remarked: “I am glad with what I saw, and they have really exhibited their capacity in terms of power generation in Nigeria. What I have seen here is the turbine system of power generation which they have built for over 10 years, and it’s still running at full capacity.
“Additionally, we have seen how Genesis Energy distributes electricity and the processes of distribution and the efficiency of the service. This visit has really indicated to us that they’re up to the task and they’re capable. I believe that they can handle any project that has to do with power generation in our country.”
Speaking on the significance of the visit, the executive vice president, Operations and Maintenance, Genesis Energy Group, Simon Shaibu stated: “At Genesis Energy, we are driven by the belief that strategic partnerships are essential for unlocking Nigeria’s vast energy potential.
