Gas Problem Hits National Grid

Gas Problem Hits National Grid

Nigeria’s national electricity grid has traced the country’s erratic power supply to a shortfall in gas deliveries to thermal power stations.

Grid managers said the drop in fuel supply has slowed electricity generation across several plants.

Thermal stations, which produce most of the nation’s power, are unable to operate at full strength because they are not receiving enough gas.

As a result, the volume of electricity transmitted nationwide has reduced, affecting supply in many areas.

This shortage has led to longer outages and unstable power for households and businesses.

Consumers in different states continue to face blackouts as generation struggles to meet demand.

Officials say steps are being taken to address the gas constraints and improve coordination between suppliers and generation companies, with the aim of restoring steadier electricity across the country.
