- Improved Gas Supply improves power generation-NISO
The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) has attributed notable improvement in power generation to the repair and restoration of the vandalized
Lagos-Escravos-Lagos gas supply infrastructure by the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure
Company (NGIC).
This it stated has led to the enhancement of gas supply to several key thermal power
plants across the country.
This is contained in a statement by the management of the NISO.
This development it added led to positive step toward stabilizing the
electricity supply and improving grid reliability for consumers nationwide.
Currently, gradual power offtake is being carried out by the affected plants to ensure a
smooth recovery and maintain the stability of both the gas supply network and the
national electricity grid. “This measured according to the NISO is aimed at preventing system stress and
ensuring a reliable supply of electricity to meet the needs of industries, businesses, and
households.” It stated.
Meanwhile, other thermal power plants remain available and on standby, awaiting
confirmation of gas supply from their respective suppliers between now and Saturday,
27th December 2025. Once confirmed, these plants will be integrated into the national
grid to further strengthen generation capacity and reduce the risk of outages.

NISO continues to work closely with relevant stakeholders, including power generation
companies, gas suppliers, and regulatory bodies, to monitor developments and address
any operational challenges in real time. The organization remains committed to
sustaining these improvements and ensuring a reliable, efficient, and resilient power
system that supports Nigeria’s socio-economic development.
NISO urges all consumers to continue practicing energy conservation where possible, as
the coordinated efforts to stabilize power supply progress.
