Amperion Power is one of the 16 bidders that pre-qualified for the acquisition of five national integrated power projects (NIPPs).

Geregu issued N40 billion unsecured corporate bond for a 7-year tenor at a coupon and effective interest rate of 14.5 percent and 14.70 percent respectively, in July 2022.

The company said the net proceeds would be used to finance the acquisition of one of the power generation companies.
