The federal government has issued a warning to power generation companies connected to the national grid, stating that they risk disconnection if they continue to reject the implementation of free government control (FGC) across their generating units.
Authorities explained that the measure is necessary to safeguard the national grid from potential collapses.
This directive was issued by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) under Order No. NERC/2025/094, which is set to take effect from September 1, 2025.
The order, released in August, was jointly signed by NERC’s Vice-Chairman, Musiliu Oseni, and the Commissioner for Legal, Licensing, and Compliance, Dafe Akpeneye.
According to the order, any generating unit that fails to comply with the FGC requirement for 90 continuous days faces the possibility of being removed from the grid.
The FGC system enables the governor of a turbine or generator to automatically adjust its power output in line with fluctuations in grid frequency.
“Section 12.6.2 of the Grid Code for the Nigerian Electricity Transmission System requires all generating units to be fitted with fast-acting FGC that is capable of regulating turbine speed and adjusting power output based on frequency deviation exigencies, i.e., primary control,” the order stated in part.
