NERC To Review 2018 Meter Asset Provider Regulations, Calls For Stakeholders’ Comments

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has commenced the process of reviewing the Meter Asset Provider Regulations 2018 to end the seemingly perennial challenges with estimated billing in Nigeria.

This was disclosed by NERC via it’s Twitter handle on Wednesday.

It tweeted, “@nercng is in the process of reviewing the Meter Asset Provider Regulations 2018.

The link below is for the consultation for comments from stakeholders and members of the public.”

 It would be recalled that in December 2017, in its bid to end the seemingly perennial challenges with estimated billing in Nigeria, NERC released the Draft Meter Asset Provider Regulations 2017 (“Draft Regulations”).

Thereafter, following extensive consideration of comments from and reactions to the Draft Regulations, as received from relevant stakeholders, the Board of NERC eventually approved the updated Draft Regulations.

 Consequently, on March 8, 2018, the Meter Asset Provider Regulations 2018 (“MAP Regulations”) was finally issued under the common seal of NERC and became effective as the governing framework for the metering of electricity consumption in the NESI.
