Observatory System For Monitoring Electric Power Demand And Delivery

ABSTRACT

Nigeria is a fast-growing country in terms of urbanization. One of the major infrastructure challenge is power supply. However, this challenge is often not as a result of power generation but as a result of power distribution. It is expected that housing development policies be implemented for example through standard for house equipment. The partners are expected to be ministries of power, works and urban development. This report is a documentation of a project which required developing an Information system (Observatory) that makes available, online statistics of Electric Power Demand. The statistics provided will serve as a decision-making tool for policy makers in the relevant sector to plan optimal strategies for better delivery of Electric power, especially in the area of provision of Electrical Infrastructure. The development of the Information System was achieved using Drupal Content Management System.
