- Total Energies NOPL pipeline vandalised on January 7th
- Operations at Alaoji power plant halted pending restoration of gas supply
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has announced the halt of operations at the 504MW Alaoji Power Plant following an attack on the Total Energies EP Nigeria Limited gas pipeline conveying gas to the power plant.
Total Energies had in a letter to the NDPHC, notified the Management of the January 7th 2022 attack on the NOPL pipeline at KP41 Alaoma Etche Cluster, forcing the closure of the Line Block Valve to isolate and depressurise the sabotage point.
”Gas supply to Alaoji Power Plant was suspended due to this unfortunate event. Preliminary investigation to determine the extent of the damage is ongoing, and repair works shall commence as soon as feasible,” the NDPHC said in a statement.
”The Management of NDPHC hereby assures our customers that Alaoji Power Plant and others will resume power generation as soon as gas supply is restored,” the statement read.
