The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) is bolstering measures to enhance the stability and reliability of the national grid, according to a report from This Day. Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Bello Mohammed revealed plans to invest in advanced control systems, real-time monitoring technology, and new national control centres.
These initiatives aim to improve system operations and bolster grid performance. Mohammed highlighted a recent synchronisation test with Nigeria and 14 other African countries as a significant technical milestone, underscoring the importance of stronger coordination and technical capacity in managing interconnected electricity systems.
The organisation is also constructing ultra-modern National Control Centres in Osogbo and Gwagwalada, alongside deploying SCADA, EMS, AGC, telemetry, and IoT-based monitoring systems. These technologies are expected to provide better visibility and control over the grid, enabling earlier detection of emerging issues and enhancing operational efficiency.
