The Forum of Nigerian Electricity Regulators (FONER), comprising chief executives and managing directors of electricity regulatory institutions across various states in Nigeria, has paid a working visit to the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo).
Led by its Chairman, Dr Musiliu Oseni, and Vice Chairman, Engr Chijioke Onokwo, the delegation is in Ghana as part of a regulatory study tour aimed at gaining insights into the country’s electricity sector and exploring opportunities for collaboration.
The team was received by GRIDCo’s Chief Executive, Ing. Frank A. Otchere, the Deputy Chief Executives and members of the Management Team.
During the visit, Mr Samuel Acquah, Director of Corporate Strategy, delivered a presentation on Ghana’s electricity value chain and GRIDCo’s role in electricity transmission and system operations.
The delegation also visited the System Control Centre, where the Centre’s Manager, Ing. Steven Debrah, led a briefing on power system management, including frequency control, electricity supply and demand balancing, and cross-border power exchanges with neighbouring countries.
Discussions also covered GRIDCo’s involvement in the Ghana Wholesale Electricity Market (GWEM) project, its technical and consultancy services, and its capacity-building support for utilities across the sub-region.
The visit provided an opportunity for both institutions to exchange knowledge and experiences, highlighting the importance of regional cooperation in strengthening West Africa’s electricity sector.
