NISO hails NNPC’s 350MW Abuja power plant project
The Nigerian Independent System Operator has commended the ongoing 350 megawatt Nigerian National Petroleum Company’s Abuja Gas Independent Power Project.
The management of NISO, in a statement on Thursday, described the project as a vital step towards achieving the national target of 8,500MW grid generation capacity by the end of 2026.
The statement said that the managing director of NISO, Abdu Bello, gave the commendation during an on-site assessment visit to the project site.
Leading a high-level management delegation, Mr Bello evaluated the current construction stage and identified key areas for enhanced collaboration to accelerate project completion and ensure timely inauguration.
“The visit also included an inspection of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition implementation site at the Gwagwalada transmission substation.
“The team expressed confidence that, before the end of 2026, the full electricity value chain, from generation through transmission to distribution, will be integrated into a unified SCADA platform.
“Enabling real-time visibility, improved grid monitoring, and enhanced system reliability and stability,” it said.
