NERC Insists Metering Still Discos’ Responsibility - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission yesterday responded emphatically to the electricity distribution companies’ claims that they were no longer responsible for providing meters to consumers under their networks, stating clearly that they had not been absolved of such responsibility.
According to a statement sent to THISDAY last night in Abuja by NERC’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Dr. Usman Arabi, the commission said it was reviewing the MAP procurement report and would soon announce preferred bidders to participate in the scheme. “The obligation to ensure that all electricity consumers are metered remains with the electricity distribution companies under Meter Asset Provider Regulations 2018. This is consistent with their respective licensing terms and conditions and Section 4 of the said regulations that provides that, inter alia, “Distribution licensee is responsible for the achievement of metering targets as specified by the commission from time to time.
It added: “The deadline was fixed for July 31, 2018 but was extended to November 30, 2018 to engender more competition between potential MAPs thus providing better value for consumers.
