The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) has notified the general public and all electricity market participants of anticipated gas supply constraints affecting some major thermal power generating stations connected to the national grid. In a statement titled “Anticipated Gas Supply Constraints and Potential Load Management Measures”, the Operator said the situation arose from a formal notification received on the scheduled maintenance shutdown of a major gas supply facility from 12 to 15 February 2026 adding that full gas supply will be restored on Monday 16th February, 2026. The statement added that power stations to be affected directly are Egbin, Azura, Sapele and Transcorp Power Plants as NDPHC Sapele, Olorunsogo and Omotosho Power Plants could experience indirect constraints due to network-wide gas balancing effects. Power stations expected to be directly impacted include Egbin, Azura, Sapele, and Transcorp Power Plants, while NDPHC Sapele, Olorunsogo, and Omotosho Power Plants may experience indirect constraints due to network-wide gas balancing effects. “Power stations expected to be directly impacted include Egbin, Azura, Sapele, and Transcorp Power Plants, while NDPHC Sapele, Olorunsogo, and Omotosho Power Plants may experience indirect constraints due to network-wide gas balancing effects.
