This forms part of the discussion during the visit by a delegation from the Gombe State Electricity Regulatory Commission to the headquarters of the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) in Abuja

To close this energy gap in the state, Dr Arabi reveals that 30 mini-grids are currently being developed as part of the state’s power expansion plan.

Managing Director of NISO, Abdu Bello Mohammed identifies  the state’s new industrial park and its coal reserves as justification for scaling up supply, and pledges that NISO would support efforts to develop a workable business model for expanded access.
