Nigeria Boosts Power Grid with Gas Licensing Initiative

In response to ongoing power outages, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has begun granting licenses to eligible gas suppliers. This step intends to tackle electricity shortages caused by repeated national grid failures.

Last year, the national grid suffered more than ten collapses, with one recorded incident already disrupting power supply in 2025. The resulting blackouts have left many communities struggling without electricity.

According to a statement from NMDPRA, signed by Jemilah Adama, the initiative is part of a directive from President Bola Tinubu to secure a steady gas supply for power generation. This strategy is designed to improve grid reliability and ensure a broader, more efficient electricity distribution network.

The authority has also cautioned gas distributors against disrupting supplies to power companies, warning that licenses could be revoked if operators fail to comply. “Acts of sabotage will not be tolerated,” the statement read, highlighting the government’s commitment to addressing the country’s energy challenges.
