What Geometric Power does
Geometric Power Limited is a Nigerian vertically integrated power company founded in 2004 by Professor Bart Nnaji. The company operates three wholly owned subsidiaries: Geometric Power Aba Limited (GPAL), which runs a 188MW gas-fired generation plant; Aba Power Electric Limited (APLE), which distributes electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers within the Aba ring-fenced area covering 9 of 17 LGAs in Abia State; and Geometric Security Services. Its flagship Aba Integrated Power Project, valued at approximately $800 million, combines generation, a 27km dedicated gas pipeline from the Imo River, five new substations, 105km of 33kV overhead lines, and 40km of 11kV lines, all underpinned by a 20-year Federal Government concession and NERC-issued licenses.
The company generates revenue primarily through regulated electricity tariffs charged to end customers within its ring-fenced concession, with a secondary project management services stream. The model eliminates dependence on the national grid, and during the January 2026 nationwide grid collapse, the 188MW plant maintained supply to Aba while all other distribution companies reported zero load. The capital stack was assembled from development finance institutions including IFC, European Investment Bank, and the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (now FMFM), with a $50 million debt facility from Afreximbank signed in November 2021 to operationalize the project.
Geometric Power's customer base is anchored by industrial and manufacturing users in the Ariaria market, supplemented by residential, commercial, and institutional clients. The company is pursuing expansion through the OMA Power Project, Quad Power (Aba Phase II), and the Abuja Emergency Power Station, while exploring renewable energy partnerships with the European Union. The leadership team, headed by Prof. Bart Nnaji (former Minister of Power and University of Pittsburgh professor), provides high political and technical credibility, and the company also sponsors the Nigeria Prize for Science and Innovation ($100,000 award).
