The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has ordered the Transmission Company of Nigeria to peg power supply to international customers in Benin Republic, Niger, and Togo at 6 per cent.
The Commission disclosed this in a recent document titled 'Interim Order on Transmission System Dispatch Operations, Cross-border Supply, and Related Matters' signed by its Chairman, Sanusi Garba and Vice Chairman, Musiliu Oseni. The Order is expected to be effected for six months starting May 1, 2024, and is subject to review. Nigeria currently supplies electricity to neighbouring countries, including Benin Republic, Niger Republic, and Togo.
The Commission explained that the move boosted the in-country electricity supply capacity. 'The reliance on limiting Discos' load off-take while prioritizing international off-takers and Eligible Customers has yet to prove efficient nor equitable. 'The system operator will log and publish hourly readings, enforcing penalties for violations of grid instructions and contracted nominations.
