12 Nov FG launches CDMS to tackle electricity challenges
The Federal Ministry of Power has launched the Central Data Management System (CDMS), a digital platform of the Nigeria Sustainable Energy for All that monitors power networks across the country.
In his address at the virtual launch of the platform on Tuesday, the Minister of Power Sale Mamman, said, “This initiative is part of our efforts to digitize the Nigerian power sector using new innovative digital technologies and processes that will help address many of the key challenges that our power sector is facing today.
“It is very remarkable to note that within just one year of starting the Central Data Management System project, the following primary data has been gathered, classified and stored on the Nigeria SE4All web portal being launch today,” Mamman noted.
The platform has a satellite mapping of 350,000 settlement clusters; over 3,000 settlement clusters remotely mapped with over 2,600,000 buildings identified; about 50,000 kilometres of 33 kilovolts (kV) and 11kV power distribution lines being tracked across 21 States and the FCT.
The minister informed that the CDMS also remotely monitors mini-grids nationwide to digitally assess their performance, using Application Programming Interface (API).
Mamman said that the platform’s launch is to drive President Buhari’s Electricity Vision 30:30:30, a target to deliver 30,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity by 2030 with at least 30 per cent coming from renewable energy.
