Gas Plant Shutdown: Power users brace for 4-day maintenance hit


Seplat Energy Plc, a vital joint venture partner with NNPC Ltd and major gas supplier to the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network, will conduct routine maintenance on its key gas production facilities from February 12 to 15, 2026.

This essential work, outlined in a press release by Andy Odeh, NNPC Ltd.’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, follows standard industry protocols to uphold safety, asset integrity, and reliable operations for critical gas infrastructure.

The statement also explains that periodic maintenance of this nature is essential to sustain optimal system performance, strengthen operational resilience, and minimise the risk of unplanned outages.

During the four-day maintenance period, the press statement added, there will be a temporary reduction in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network. As a result, some power generation companies reliant on this supply may experience reduced gas availability, which could modestly impact electricity generation levels within the timeframe.

The statement says: “NNPC Ltd and Seplat Energy are working closely to ensure that the maintenance is executed safely and completed as scheduled. 

“In parallel, NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML) is engaging alternative gas suppliers to mitigate anticipated supply gaps and maintain stability across the network.

“Upon completion of the maintenance exercise, full gas supply into the NGIC system is expected to resume promptly, enabling affected power generation companies to return to normal operations.

“Further updates will be provided as necessary.”
