At 1,327MW generation, FG says power supply may worsen
The federal government says the epileptic power supply being faced nationwide could get worse by tomorrow May 23rd
if the strike action by the Senior and Junior staff
unions of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation persist. At a
press briefing in Abuja today, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of
Power, Ambassador Godknows Igali said prior to the strike action,
Nigeria was comfortably producing 4,800MW but this has dropped to
1,327MW due to unavailability of gas.
"As of 12noon on Friday, May 22, 2015, Utorogu, Chevron gas plants are all shut down while Ughelli and CNL Escravos are all isolated already. At the eastern axis, Shell Gas, Alakiri, has also been shut down. This has led to the several power plants being stranded and shut down. These include Egbin, Olorunshogo I and II, Omotosho I and II, Geregu I and II, Ihonvor and Sapele (NIPP) on the western axis and Alaoji on the eastern end. The overall effect is that power supply, which had started picking up steadily since the beginning of the week, following repairs of various vandalised portions of the ELP Line and the Trans-Forcados Gas Pipelines, has fallen to an all-time-unprecedented low of 1,327MW as of 1pm, Friday, May 22, 2015. This situation could get worse if the strike (action) continues.” he said
