Recently, the Minister for Power directed the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to ensure the optimum performance of the electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) or face the sack. This is more or less asking NERC to enforce the Eligible Customer & Meter Asset Provider Regulations. However, the Minister has also introduced the issue of Competitive Transition Charges as a master stroke.
The declaration of customer eligibility in the Nigerian Power Sector opens up several business opportunities for all stakeholders but what about the payment of competitive transition charges by eligible customers.
