Green Energy International Limited (GEIL), a pioneer in Nigeria’s energy landscape, is nearing the completion of its Rivers oil terminal and is thus set to revolutionise local energy operations. This milestone is evidence of the company’s goal to integrate sustainable solutions with the nation’s energy infrastructure, thereby reinforcing Nigeria’s position in the global oil and gas market.
Established in 2006, GEIL has consistently prioritised energy innovations that benefit local communities and align with international best practices. Its Otakikpo Marginal Field project, for example, has incorporated Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) processing and power generation, the goal of which is to foster economic development and energy security in host communities. So far, it has achieved this.
The Rivers oil terminal represents a historic achievement. Expected to be operational by March 2025, it is widely considered as Nigeria’s first indigenous onshore oil export facility. Once commissioned, this terminal will provide critical support for stranded oil fields in the Niger Delta, and address long-standing logistical bottlenecks surrounding crude production.
Anthony Adegbulugbe, Green Energy’s chairman and CEO, brings decades of expertise to this endeavour. A former adviser to ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, Adegbulugbe’s leadership, which is underpinned by a stellar career in energy policy and planning, has helped the company remain a driving force in Nigeria’s energy transformation.
Strategic partnerships have been integral to Green Energy’s success. Collaborating with Atlantic Terminal Infrastructure Ltd., GEIL is achieving construction milestones efficiently. These alliances have helped the company to deliver on ambitious projects while maintaining high ethical and operational standards.
The impact of Green Energy’s initiatives extends beyond energy production. Through job creation, skill development, and sustainable practices, the company has been boosting socio-economic growth in its host regions, thus completing Nigeria’s aspirations for energy self-sufficiency and economic diversification.
Adegbulugbe’s achievements through Green Energy International show how much potential indigenous firms have in being able to shape the future of Nigeria’s energy sector. So, as the Rivers oil terminal nears completion, the company is already signalling a bright future for Nigeria’s energy industry.
