[Strategic target // 500,000 TPA domestic steel]

An integrated steel complex, powered on its own terms.

Our downstream vision anchors every mineral interest: a 500,000 tonnes-per-annum smelting complex producing steel for Nigeria's construction and infrastructure — with a dedicated captive power plant behind it.

The captive energy advantage

Removing the single greatest bottleneck in African heavy industry.

Grid instability has stalled steelmaking across the continent. Our smelter will be served by a dedicated captive independent power plant (IPP) — a gas/coal hybrid designed for the continuous, high-load demand of smelting.

We leverage the Acquico group's distributed power capability, including sister company Elektron Energy, operators of the 30 MW VIPower facility, to design, build and operate that plant.
