The commission also approved thirteen mini-grid permits, fourteen registration certificates for mini-grids with individual capacities below 1MW.
According to the report, the country’s 26 power generating plants produced a combined 4,497.32MW in the quarter under review, a far cry from an estimated 30,000MW experts say Nigeria would need to reach sufficiency.
The commission explained that inadequate meter deployment to end-users continued to be a “challenge” in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry. As of December 2022, only 5,134,871 of the 12,152,106 registered energy customers had been metered. A total of 164,612 meters were installed in Q4 2022. The commission said it expects the electricity distribution companies to utilise any of the five-meter financing mechanisms that have been provided in the 2021 Meter Asset Provider and National Mass Metering Regulations to close their respective metering gaps.
As a safeguard for customers against exploitation due to the lack of meters, the commission said it continued to issue monthly energy caps for all feeders in each Disco which sets the maximum amount of energy that may be billed to an unmetered customer for the respective month based on gross energy received by the Disco and the consumption of metered customers.All rights reserved.
