NERC Directs DisCos To Swiftly Conclude STS Meter Migration


The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has directed Distribution Companies (DisCos) to rapidly conclude the migration of STS-Meters for all their customers to prevent disruption of service.

During the Q4 NESI Stakeholders Meeting, the Commission warned that daily penalties would be imposed for each meter not migrated effective from 1st January 2025.

The Commission further emphasized the responsibility of the DisCos to replace all obsolete/faulty meters within their franchise.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Customer Protection Regulation 2023, the Commission noted that DisCos are neither allowed to charge customers for the replacement of obsolete/faulty meters nor transfer customers to estimated billing.

Also at the meeting, participants discussed the milestones of states transitioning to state electricity regulation, the Free Governor Mode of Operation at the power generation level to stabilize the grid, and updates on the establishment of the Nigerian Independent System Operation (NISO), among others.

The quarterly meeting brought together energy stakeholders to discuss the state of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) and address critical issues in the sector.
