Orashi Electricity Company

Imo State government has granted a license to Orashi Electricity Company to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in the state. The Commissioner for Power and Electrification, Nwabueze Oguchienti said the approval marks a crucial step towards a constant and reliable electricity supply in Imo State in the coming years.

“This marks a crucial step forward in our efforts to ensure constant and reliable electricity supply,' he said. On his part, Valentine Obumeyan, General Manager of Orashi Electricity Company Ltd, said 'Our mandate is to ensure stable electricity supply in all 27 local government areas of the state within a year. We are ready to support the governor’s vision.

” This means an end to the reliance on Enugu Electricity Distribution Company for electricity distribution in the state. “We are committed to changing the narrative on power supply within the next year', he said. Recall that in June 2024, in line with the Electricity Act 2023, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, transferred regulatory oversight of the electricity market in Imo to the Imo State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
