NERC Gives More Discos Nod to Procure Third-party Meters - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission Friday disclosed that it has given two more electricity distribution companies in Nigeria’s power sector the nod to engage third-party contractors to install meters for consumers under their networks.
It said in a statement from its General Manager, Public Affairs, Dr. Usman Arabi, in Abuja that it issued permits to Ikeja and Benin Discos to engage the services of MAPs they have chosen in accordance with section 4 of the MAP Regulations. “Section 4 of the MAP Regulation 2018 requires all electricity distribution licensees to engage MAPs that would assist, as investors, in closing the metering gap and thus eliminating the practice of estimated billing in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry ,” said NERC in the statement.
The statement further said that NERC has directed that the rollout of meters by the 11 Discos in the power sector shall commence not later than May 1, 2019, adding that customers of Ikeja and Benin Discos should expect from the commencement of rollout date for meters to be installed in their premises within 10 working days of making payment to MAPs in accordance with section 18 of the regulations.
