The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has given Six states the authority to regulate their electricity markets.
In a statement by the Commission on X (Twitter), Enugu, Ekiti, Ondo, Imo, Oyo, and Edo States were authorised to regulate their electricity markets.
NERC confirmed that these states have established their electricity regulatory agencies and will now oversee the electricity markets within their jurisdictions.
In April, NERC announced that it had ceded the regulatory oversight of Enugu, Imo, Ekiti, and Ondo, which the state government owned with effect from May 1, 2024.
