Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos), yesterday, denied influencing the suspension of eligible customer policy, which allows direct connection of electricity consumers from generation plants without the utility companies.

While infrastructure bottlenecks delayed the dispatch of generated electricity, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission had in 2017, introduced the eligible customers policy but abruptly ended it earlier this month in the face of poor electricity supply in the country.

“In fact, to fault NERC as they have, is undermining the powers of the Commission as the regulator of the Nigerian power sector, vested with the requisite authority to ensure sanity in the Nigerian Electricity Market and NESI as provided by the EPSRA,” Oduntan said. The Regulation further empowers NERC to administer the regime and receive applications for eligibility customer status as well as review or grant approval where such applicants have met conditions.
