Power Generation Drops By 1,000MW Due To Gas Pipeline Vandalism

Speaking in Abuja on Monday, the minister said the
poor electricity supply across the country in the
past one week was due to the 1,000MW drop in
power generation.
Nebo said this during the Presidential Expert Group
Meeting on Infrastructure Ranking and Scorecard
Roadmap organised by the Nigerian Society of
Engineers.
The minister, who attributed the drop to the menace
of gas pipeline vandalism said, “We want to be very
sure that this is nipped in the bud with regards to
gas supply and we are doing everything possible to
minimise the incidences of vandalism.
“Now, look at what vandalism has cost us; nearly
1,000MW of power in the past one week on a daily
basis. And this means that every Nigerian is
cringing in pain because of the loss.”
Earlier, during the meeting proper, Nebo explained
that two major gas plants were severely affected
and this had warranted the fall in electricity
generation.
