NISO Announces Drop In Gas Supply To Power Plants

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

The Nigerian Independent system Operator (NISO) has announced a drop in gas supply to some major power generating plants connected to the national grid which will also result in drop in electricity supply nationwide

In a statement, NISO says the development followed a scheduled maintenance shutdown of a major gas supply facility from 12 to 15 February 2026

Power stations to be affected include; Egbin, Azura, Sapele, and Transcorp Power Plants, while NDPHC Sapele, Olorunsogo, and Omotosho Power Plants may experience indirect constraints due to network-wide gas balancing effects.

NISO assures all stakeholders and electricity customers that every action taken during this period will be strictly guided by established operational procedures, grid security requirements, and reliability standards.

NISO assures full gas supply is expected to be restored on 16 February 2026.
