Nigeria strike: Asogli Power Plant to resume operations
The Asogli Power Plant is expected to resume
operations today, Tuesday May 26, 2015 as Nigerian
Petroleum workers call off their strike.

The plant was shut down due to a gas shortage in
Nigeria.

The national grid lost about 180 megawatts due to
the situation.

Managing Director of the Asogli Plant Kweku Lee
told Starr News the situation will normalise
soon.

Meanwhile, TICO has moved from 170MW to 210MW.

Last Friday, staff of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation laid down their tools over
some policy decisions.

Nigeria was supposed to send 123 million cubic
feet of gas to Ghana but it is only able to supply
around 49 cubic feet of gas.

The workers were against the transfer of the
operatorship of OML 42 from Shell to Neconde
Energy Ltd.

The strike, coupled with other factors, resulted
in fuel shortage in Africa’s largest economy
with its rippling effect hitting Ghana.

Currently, Ghana’s Atuabo Gas plant is supplying
an average of 70 million standard cubic feet of
gas per day which is being used to power the
plants in the Aboadze Enclave.
