The Group
Managing Director (GMD) of NNPC, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, has submitted a preliminary
report on the recent activities at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Details of
the report shows that the NNPC through one of her subsidiaries; the Nigerian
Gas Company (NGC), now supplies up to 876 million standard cubic feet (mscuf)
of gas per day to the country’s power sector, ThisDay reports.
Gas pipeline
vandalism and regular cuts in flow which has resulted in epileptic power
situation in the past has now been reduced, thus significant improvement of gas
supply from 630mscuf to 861mscuf day to the power plants as recently disclosed
by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has resulted in a more steady
power supply across the nation.
The TCN
which recently recorded a peak power generation of 4748MW in August 24, 2015,
had stated that the country’s generation capacity can be pushed to further
higher levels given the fact that fuel supply to the generators is now stable
and adequate.
