Nigeria’s electricity supply is facing fresh strain as gas shortages continue to disrupt thermal power generation
The Independent System Operator reports that generation has dropped to an average of 4,300MW, leaving Distribution Companies with reduced allocations
Officials warn that load shedding is being implemented to stabilise the grid until gas supply improves
