The supply of gas from Nigeria to Ghana may have suffered another setback following the damage caused by a fire incident on the Escravos-Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS), which supplies gas from Escravos in the Niger Delta area to Lagos.

The pipeline, which supplies gas to power plants in the South-West, also feeds the West Africa Gas Pipeline System (WAGPS). The $1bn WAGPS, operated by the West Africa Pipeline Company Limited, was built to supply natural gas from Nigeria to customers in Benin, Togo and Ghana. Ghana gets about 25% of its power supply through gas from Nigeria, which flows through the pipeline via Benin and Togo. The country has a deal with Nigeria to receive 120 million standard cubic feet of gas daily.
