Gas Supply Constraints Not Cause of Power Generation Drop - NNPC
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has clarified that the recent decline in power generation in Nigeria is not due to gas supply constraints, according to a statement released by the company.
NNPC's Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh, stated that the company's subsidiary, NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC), has not recorded any transportation-related constraints within its network that could explain the decrease in electricity generation.
The clarification comes after the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) had earlier attributed the drop in electricity generation to limited gas availability and reduced water inflows to hydroelectric stations.
NNPC emphasized that accurate reporting across the gas-to-power value chain is essential to resolving the challenges and sustaining public confidence.
The company also called for a coordinated review of operational data by gas suppliers, transporters, power generators, and NISO to identify specific constraints and guide effective interventions.
NNPC disclosed that its gas production volumes have increased by around 10% year-to-date in 2026, attributing the growth to the Federal Government's gas development and monetization agenda.
