In early August, reports emerged that two electricity distribution companies, Eko Electricity Distribution Company and Aba Power Limited Electric, suffered power outages due to the unavailability of gas.
The reports claimed that the NDPHC had no gas to power 10 plants, leaving customers in pitch darkness.
However, the company’s media adviser, Adesanya Adejokun, debunked the allegations saying “The outage was a direct result of scheduled maintenance on gas facilities conducted by our suppliers. “What you see is that the whole grid is challenged by offtake evacuations from transmission and offtake by distribution and if the distribution is not able to take what the distribution can carry; the transmission cannot take what you generate.
“But we are working assiduously to ensure end-to-end from generation to end users. We equally have distribution interventions all over the country, in all the states, to ensure that we improve the capacity of the distribution companies. “Right now, we are working with Eko and Ibadan distribution companies using bilateral sales. So, we sell directly to them. Thankfully, the ones we are selling and some of them are paying us as and when due.”
