Electricity supply in Nigeria dropped from 3,000 megawatts to 847.97mw

At least, 18 out of the 23 power plants in the country are unable to generate electricity due shortage of gas supply to the thermal plants.
Also, one of the hydro stations is currently faced with water management challenges. This has led to loss of over 2,000megawatts in the national grid.

Electricity supply has dropped from about 3,000 megawatts, mw to 847.97mw.

This situation is further compounded by the recent industrial actions embarked upon by workers in the oil and gas industry, a development which is taking toll on other sectors of the economy. Gas supplies to the thermal plants have been further constrained by the industrial actions of workers in the oil and gas industry.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission had proactively engaged the gas supply companies and its licencees when two weeks ago discussion was held on how to firm up gas supply in order to increase power supply.
