Nigerian DisCos Blame Gas Shortages for Worsening Power Outages

Nigerian electricity distribution companies (DisCos) like Abuja Disco, Eko Disco, AEDC, and EKEDC blame gas shortages for the worsening power outages across their networks. The drop in gas supply to power plants has resulted in a significant reduction in power generation, leading to limited energy supply to the national grid.

This has caused widespread outages, with customers experiencing low power supply. DisCos are closely monitoring the situation and are committed to restoring normal services as soon as possible.

The nation's power generation has dropped to around 3,108 MW from over 5,000 MW last year, leading to intermittent load shedding. The DisCos are urging customers to be patient and understanding during this period of constrained power supply.
