21 Nov NNPC says Gas Supply to Power Generating Companies has Improved
Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, has said that gas supply to power generating companies (Gencos), has significantly improved and the major challenge now is that of transmission.
In a statement by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru, Kyari spoke during the 2021 budget defence and performance appraisal meeting with officials of the corporation which held at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja.
Kyari, who was represented by the Chief Operating Officer, Gas and Power, Yusuf Usman, attributed the success of the corporation in the gas sector to the support and cooperation of the committee and the entire legislature.
He said gas supply to power had improved to a large measure, which he said was evident in the improved power supply currently being witnessed in the country.
“We have significant gas in the network currently, but the challenge however, is transmission,” the Kyari stated.
On the AKK pipeline project, the NNPC boss told the lawmakers that it was designed to supply 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day (2bcfd), stressing that it would be the primary source of gas for the power plants currently being developed in Abuja, Kaduna and Kano.
