Following the repair and restoration of the damaged Lagos-Escravos gas supply infrastructure, the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) has announced a “notable” improvement in power generation.
The Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC), which the operator claimed improved the gas supply to a number of important thermal power plants across the nation, claimed to be responsible for the repair.
Following recent reports of a subpar power supply across the nation, the update was released.
The development, according to NISO, is a positive step toward ensuring consumers’ grid reliability and stabilizing the supply of electricity.
“To ensure a smooth recovery and maintain the stability of both the gas supply network and the national electricity grid, the affected plants are currently performing gradual power offtake.”
This measured approach is intended to reduce system stress and ensure a reliable supply of electricity to meet the needs of households, businesses, and industries.

Other thermal power plants are also on standby and ready, pending confirmation of gas supply from their respective suppliers, according to the statement.
To increase generation capacity and reduce the risk of outages, these plants will be integrated into the national grid.
“NISO continues to collaborate closely with relevant stakeholders, including gas suppliers, regulatory bodies, power generation companies, and regulatory bodies, to track developments and address any real-world operational issues.
The organization will continue to support these improvements and ensure a trustworthy, effective, and resilient power system that supports Nigeria’s socio-economic development.
