Nigeria: Govt Breaks Ground On New National Control Centre to Strengthen Grid Reliability
The new facility will replace a 64-year-old control centre and add SCADA, large displays and analytics to improve fault detection and outage response.
- On Wednesday, Vice President Kashim Shettima, represented by Special Adviser Alhaji Bashir Maidugu, performed the groundbreaking ceremony for a new National Control Centre in Osogbo, Osun State, to modernize Nigeria's electricity grid monitoring.
- The new facility replaces a 64-year-old centre that officials stated no longer meets the technical demands of managing Nigeria's electricity grid with modern, interconnected systems.
- Once commissioned, the centre will feature integrated SCADA and analytics to help operators detect faults and plan maintenance, while strengthening Nigeria's coordination within the West African Power Pool.
- Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe stated the project would enhance the Nigerian Independent System Operator's ability to monitor the grid and respond promptly to disruptions, reducing avoidable outages for households and businesses.
- Reliable electricity remains central to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, according to Shettima; Managing Director Abdu Bello Mohammed added that NISO is training skilled operators to run the facility to international standards.
