Meanwhile, six power plants under the management of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC, have stopped operations due to a breach in the supply of gas to the facilities.
A letter from the NDPHC to the Managing Director of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc stated that the breach was reported by the Nigeria Gas Company, the supplier of gas to the plants.
The letter stated that five of the power plants were impacted by the gas curtailment, while one was forced to shut down.
The letter, however, stated that the management of the NDPHC was monitoring the situation and was committed to ensuring that the plants return to full operations as soon as gas supply improves.
