NNPC Limited has confirmed that the gas transportation network operated by its subsidiary, NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC), remains available to support gas deliveries to power generating stations nationwide without any constraints.
The company said NGIC’s operational records do not show transportation-related constraints within its network that could explain the current decline in electricity generation.
In a statement signed by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh, NNPC said it remains focused on actualising the Federal Government’s gas development and monetisation agenda, which has driven about 10% growth in gas production volumes in 2026 year to date.
According to the company, gas supply availability is therefore not a challenge, and NNPC remains committed to supporting efforts to improve electricity generation through safe, reliable and efficient gas supply and transportation.
The clarification follows the Nigerian Independent System Operator’s (NISO) statement of 5 November 2026, which attributed the lower generation to limited gas availability and reduced water inflows into hydroelectric stations.
The statement further reads: “NNPC Limited’s clarification concerns the operational status of NGIC’s transportation network. 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. These factors determine whether gas supplied can be converted into electricity. They should be verified alongside gas supply data to establish the causes of the shortfall.
“NNPC Limited supports a coordinated review of operational data by gas suppliers, transporters, power generators and NISO to identify specific constraints and guide effective interventions. Accurate reporting across the gas-to-power value chain is essential to resolving the challenges and sustaining public confidence.
“Our focus remains on dependable energy infrastructure and constructive collaboration that helps translate Nigeria’s gas resources into more reliable electricity for Nigerians.”
