Gas shortages, low water levels reduce power generation — NISO

Nigeria is grappling with worsening electricity supply as gas shortages and reduced water levels in hydroelectric reservoirs constrain power generation across the national grid, according to the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO). The decline in electricity generation is attributed to inadequate gas supply to thermal power plants and reduced output from hydroelectric stations, forcing electricity distribution companies to reduce supply hours and increase load shedding.

This situation is particularly concerning as Nigerians face intense heat conditions, increasing the demand for cooling and other essential services that require reliable electricity.
