Seplat Energy Plc, NNPC Ltd announce scheduled maintenance on major gas plant, facilities
By Onu Okorie
The Seplat Energy Plc, a Joint Venture partner of NNPC Ltd and a key supplier of gas into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure
Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network, has announced a scheduled routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from 12th to 15th February 2026.
A statement from the NNPC Limited made available to the media yesterday in Abuja explained that the planned activity forms part of standard industry safety and asset integrity protocols designed to ensure the continued reliability, efficiency, and safe operation of critical gas infrastructure. Periodic maintenance of this nature is essential to sustain optimal system performance, strengthen operational resilience, and minimise the risk of unplanned outages.
During the four-day maintenance period, there will be a temporary reduction
in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network. As a result, some power
generation companies reliant on this supply may experience reduced gas
availability, which could modestly impact electricity generation levels within
the timeframe.
NNPC Ltd and Seplat Energy are working closely to ensure that the
maintenance is executed safely and completed as scheduled. In parallel,
NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML) is engaging alternative gas suppliers to
mitigate anticipated supply gaps and maintain stability across the network.
Upon completion of the maintenance exercise, full gas supply into the NGIC
system is expected to resume promptly, enabling affected power generation
companies to return to normal operations.
