The country faces an imminent electricity blackout as the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has directed gas producers to halt supply of gas to indebted generation companies (GenCos).
In an X (formerly Twitter) post on its official account on Wednesday, the Nigeria National Grid revealed that NMDPRA’s directive to halt gas supply to GenCos is due to the over N2 trillion debts that the Federal Government and some GenCos owe gas producers in Nigeria.
The tweet pointed out that NMDPRA stated that the substantial debts owed to producers had hindered their ability to sustain operations.
“An electricity blackout is imminent following the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority’s directive to gas producers to cease supplying gas to indebted generation companies (GenCos).”
“NMDPRA stated that the substantial debts owed to producers had hindered their ability to sustain operations.
It called on gas off-takers, particularly power generation companies, to ensure timely payment for the gas supplied.“
The federal government and some GenCos currently owe over N2 trillion in legacy debts to gas producers in Nigeria,” the tweet read.
