Background

About Osaaf Syed

At the helm of contract management for NESO my expertise in legal frameworks drives the organisation’s commercial contract framework in its favour. Our team's strategic approach to negotiations has established robust frameworks that ensure the smooth operation of GB electricity markets, reflecting a commitment to security of supply and consumer value. As a Contract Manager, I have successfully negotiated contracts to equip the Electricity National Control Centre with the necessary tools to effectively manage system generation and demand. As an Account Manager, I have developed strong stakeholder relationships to ensure excellent customer service is delivered to providers and that the right message is communicated effectively. My journey as European Frameworks Lead honed my ability to represent the System Operator at high-level forums effectively, facilitating discussions that shape cross-border energy strategy. The extension of the C28 licence derogation stands as a testament to our collaborative success, guided by strong competencies in technical know how and mediation that align with National Grid ESO's vision for a resilient energy future.
