NISO explains poor electricity supply due to gas shortage

The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) states that the national grid is receiving only one-third of the required gas supply, leading to inadequate electricity across the nation.

The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) has attributed the current poor electricity supply across Nigeria to insufficient gas resources. According to NISO, the national grid is receiving only one-third of the gas supply needed to generate adequate electricity for the country.

This explanation comes amid ongoing challenges in the power sector, where gas shortages have hampered generation capacity. NISO's statement highlights the direct impact of limited gas availability on the grid's performance.

No specific timelines or additional measures were detailed in the reports, but the issue affects electricity distribution nationwide.
