Energy producers move to tackle reliability of power supplied to national grid

Nalishuwa said CEC was assessing the impact of battery storage systems while also considering other technological options that could help manage the changing power mix.

He said the objective was to ensure that as new power-generation capacity was deployed, disruptions to the electricity system were minimised.

“We’re currently looking at understanding the impact of battery storage systems, while also looking at other technological options,” he said.

Cedrus Chief Executive Officer, Olubusayo Adeniyi, said the ability to adapt also depended heavily on leadership, arguing that vision needed to be backed by genuine passion and commitment.

Adeniyi said leaders could have a clear vision, but without passion they would struggle to pursue it and overcome the challenges involved in turning that vision into reality.

He said passion was critical to creating the dynamism required to move organisations forward.

These comments point to a broader shift in the business environment, where companies are increasingly required to combine technological innovation, responsible investment, strong governance and adaptive leadership to remain competitive as the energy sector evolves.
