The reported gas constraint was 2,039.5 MW.
According to the statement, NGC worked hard to repair the gas pipeline so that normal gas supply can be restored to the affected power plants. “Due to the diversion of the load from this line to the two transmission lines equally feeding Lagos axis, load shedding in Lagos axis was minimised to about 280MW at the first instance. However with the attendant gas supply issues and sudden gas leakage problem, load shedding increased considerably.”, the Electricity Generation Companies, GENCOs, indicated that power generation increased as follows: 4,214.32 ; 6,154.05 ; 6,616.28 ; 7,183.59 ; 6,993.14 and 7,383.04 .
