NISO Partners with GOSERC to Boost Gombe's Electricity Supply

The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) has pledged to collaborate with the Gombe State Electricity Regulatory Commission (GOSERC) to develop market frameworks aimed at improving electricity supply in Gombe State. This commitment was made during GOSERC's visit to NISO’s headquarters in Utako, Abuja.

NISO’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Bello Mohammed, emphasized Gombe's potential as a commercial hub in the North-east, highlighting the need for improved electricity supply to support economic activities, especially with the establishment of an industrial park by the state governor. Mohammed assured GOSERC of NISO's full support in exploring ways to enhance electricity supply.

Gombe currently receives about 30MW of electricity, despite having the capacity to receive up to 200MW. NISO's Executive Director, Market Operations, Dr Edmond Eje, advised that all licensed distribution companies in Gombe should register with NISO as market participants.

NISO’s Executive Director, Finance and Corporate Services, Mr Babajide Ibironke, confirmed the system operator's ongoing cooperation with GOSERC.
