NERC to Sanction Yola, Enugu Discos for Breach of Market Rules
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has said that it is working closely with the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trader to sanction the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company and the Yola Electricity Distribution Company over the breach of some industry regulations.
NERC had threatened in the last quarter of 2019 to withdraw the operational licences of the power distribution firms, accusing the Discos of breaching the Electric Power Sector Reform Act . It said: “In a bid to ensure compliance to the industry rules and regulations, the commission continues its enforcement actions against several operators for violation of rules and infractions.
“The commission required each of the eight Discos to show cause in writing within 60 days from the date of receipt of the notice as to why their licences should not be cancelled in accordance with section of ESPRA. The regulator said that it was also continuing with the 21 enforcement actions brought forward from the preceding quarters against a number of operators for violations of rules and infractions.
