Geometric recommence power generation after weeklong maintenance

Geometric Power Plant Aba Limited (GPAL), an independent power generation company based in Aba, Abia State, says it has recommenced power generation at its power plant, following the completion of scheduled maintenance activities by its gas supplier.

GPAL, in a statement obtained by BusinessDay, on Saturday, said that Aba Power Limited Electric (APLE), the electricity distribution company (DISCO) in charge of the Aba ring fenced area, consisting of 9 out of the 17 Local Government Areas of Abia State, has started receiving power from its plant.

GPAL is Aba’s primary power provider.

Geometric appreciated Aba electricity consumers for their patience and understanding during the maintenance period and expressed commitment to providing excellent and reliable power supply within the Aba ring-fenced area.

Recall that APLE on August 20, 2025, announced a weeklong electricity disruption across its franchise in Abia State, due to the scheduled maintenance exercise by Geometric Power.

The maintenance ran from August 21 to 28, 2025.

Consequently, the Disco during the period relied on supply from the national grid.

Part of the statement read, “Dear valued customer, we have just been informed by our primary power provider, Geometric Power Aba Limited (GPAL), of critical infrastructure maintenance by their gas supplier, which will impact GPAL’s ability to generate and supply power from August 21 to 28, 2025.

“During this period, we will rely mainly on power imports from the national grid to serve our customers.

“While grid supply may be limited, we assure you that we will do our best to ensure that all stakeholders are duly serviced.

“We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause and hope that this timely message will enable customers to plan”.
