Nigeria Targets 5,500MW For July As Pipe Vandalism Subsides by Nobody: 9:56am On Jun 26, 2015
Nigeria’s power generation for the month of July is
expected hit 5500MW if on-going repairs on gas supply
pipelines are completed.
Speaking with an EU delegation on Thursday in Abuja,
Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission (NERC), Dr. Sam Amadi said a lot work
has been done to contain the frequent vandalism of
gas pipelines.
“Much of the vandalisms are in the gas side. The gas
problem is getting better. We had meeting with the
Group Executive Director of gas at NNPC and he told
us of improvements coming up. We hope that by the
end of July, with the repair work going on, we might be
able to do maybe above 5,500mw.
“The assurance we have is the East-West Gas Pipeline
is projected for completion sometime towards the end
of 2016. The idea is that we should be able to do
slightly above 6000mw. The problem is that it depends
also on increase in capacity. If we get the NIPP plants
in, we are looking that 4,700mw. If we add this to the
distribution companies, we can go above 9,000mw.
Right now, we don’t have enough gas to do above
that.
“They are looking at 2016-2017. With the gas that will
come from the new and existing pipelines, the
operators think that we can get enough to get us the
available capacity that we have, and the recoverable
capacity that the generators would have”.

It is getting clearer on those behind the sabotage of gas pipeline during the previous administration.
