Power Nigeria conference targets utilities, networking systems linkage

The Power Nigeria exhibition and conference, which takes place in Landmark Centre in Lagos from 25-27 September, will offer utilities an opportunity benefit from enhanced network, monitoring, automation and control, the organisers and exhibitors say.

“We will also be presenting our industry-leading Gridkey LV/MV monitoring system and associated analytics which enables customers to identify actionable information from the data on their network. We have launched a new graphical user interface for Gridkey too, unlocking greater network potential and making network data more accessible and easier for operators to quickly interpret,” said Ochola.

In its 7th edition, the Power Nigeria Conference brings together segments of the power market value chain, from decision makers and business leaders to experts and trade professionals, to deliberate on the latest trends and progression within the Nigeria’s electricity sector.
