The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has officially transferred regulatory oversight of the electricity market in Plateau State to the newly established Plateau State Electricity Regulatory Commission. This move is in accordance with the amended Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electricity Act 2023.
The transfer aims to reinforce state-level management and regulation of electricity markets, facilitating localized decision-making and potentially improving energy distribution and reliability within Plateau State. With this transition, the state commission will now handle regulatory responsibilities previously managed by the national body, marking a significant shift towards enhanced regional autonomy in the country’s electricity sector.
