Grant Description

The objective of this USAID-funded project is to manage an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract to install a National Load Control Center (NLCC) for the North East Power System (NEPS).

The project is part of a series of ongoing proposed donor-funded projects to interconnect the northeastern areas of the country.

The NLCC system will be equipped with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and related equipment needed to enhance the reliability, effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of NEPS operations.
