The Federal Government has inaugurated an energy management and control centre established to monitor electricity mini grids operating across the country.

Speaking at the launch of the centre in Abuja, the Minister of Power, ADEBAYO ADELABU, said, the electricity mini grids is a mechanism to alleviate the existential problem of poor energy data in the nation’s energy space.
