NGC seeks 95% SCADA data quality from plants by Oct 2026
National Grid Company told independent power producers and other plants to fix remote telemetry units and links so the system operator can see real-time plant data.
NGC Managing Director Altaf Hussain wrote to CPPA-G CEO Rihan Akhtar seeking urgent restoration of real-time plant data.
Concerned IPPs and plant operators must restore RTUs, gateways and communication links by annexure deadlines.
NGC is targeting at least 95% SCADA data quality by 31 October 2026.
Grid Code 2023 requires users to install and maintain telemetry at their own cost and bars withholding data.
Plants must name station focal persons and confirm restoration to ISMO, copying NGC’s managing director.
