ABUJA, Nigeria — NNPC Limited says the gas transportation network operated by its subsidiary, NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC), remains available to support deliveries to power generating stations nationwide without any constraints.

‎

‎The company said NGIC’s operational records do not indicate transportation-related constraints within its network that explain the current decline in electricity generation.

‎

‎NNPC said it is focused on actualising the Federal Government’s gas development and monetisation agenda, which has led to about 10% growth in gas production volumes in 2026 year to date. It said gas supply availability is therefore not a challenge.

‎

‎The clarification follows a statement by the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) on 5 November 2026, which cited limited gas availability and reduced water inflows to hydroelectric stations as causes of lower generation. NNPC said its clarification concerns the operational status of NGIC’s transportation network.

‎

‎It said gas production, commercial supply arrangements and actual deliveries to individual power plants must be assessed separately from the availability of transportation infrastructure.

‎

‎A comprehensive assessment must also consider the availability and operational readiness of generating units, plant maintenance schedules and actual gas offtake, it said. These factors determine whether gas supplied can be converted into electricity.

‎

‎NNPC said it supports a coordinated review of operational data by gas suppliers, transporters, power generators and NISO to identify specific constraints and guide effective interventions.

‎

‎It said accurate reporting across the gas-to-power value chain is essential to resolving the challenges and sustaining public confidence.
