1.0 SUMMARY

Pursuant to Section 34(1)(e) of the Electricity Act 2023 which states

that "the Commission shall ensure the safety, security, reliability, and
quality of service in the production and delivery of electricity to
consumers”, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC or
the Commission) continues to monitor the technical, operational, and
commercial performance of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry
(NESI). The Commission publishes quarterly reports to apprise the
public on the overall performance of the NESI.

Operational Performance

The Operational performance parameters reported in 2024/Q2

include the available generation capacity, plant availability factor,
total quarterly generation, load factor, and generation mix of the
twenty-eight (28) grid-connected power plants. Other parameters
reported include the frequency, voltage, and overall stability
performance of the national grid during the quarter.

a. Available Generation Capacity: In 2024/Q2, the number of grid-

connected plants increased by one (1) to twenty-eight (28) as a result
The average
of the operationalisation of the Zungeru hydropower plant, which
available generation
began evacuating power to the grid on 29 April 2024. The twenty-
capacity in
2024/Q2 was eight (28) grid-connected power plants consist of nineteen (19) gas,
4,395.77MW five (5) hydro, two (2) steam, and two (2) gas/steam-powered plants.
For this quarter, the average available generation capacity of the grid-
connected power plants was 4,395.77MW.

The average available generation capacity across the grid-connected

plants (excluding Zungeru) decreased from the 4,249.10MW
recorded in 2024/Q1 to 4,024.81MW in 2024/Q2 representing a -
5.28% decrease (-224.29MW) (Figure A). Twenty (20) power plants
recorded decreased available generation capacities in 2024/Q2
compared to 2024/Q1.

b. Average Hourly Generation: The average hourly generation on the

grid in 2024/Q2 was 4,018.57MWh/h, which translates to a total
generation of 8,776.55GWh over the quarter. The average hourly
generation of available power plants (excluding Zungeru) decreased
by -9.52% (-387.56MWh/h) from 4,069.57MWh/h in 2024/Q1 to
3,682.02MWh/h (Figure B). The decrease in energy generation
during the quarter was primarily due to the decrease in the available
generation capacities of the grid-connected power plants compared to
2024/Q1.

c. Grid Performance: In 2024/Q2, the average lower daily (49.13Hz)

and average upper daily (50.64Hz) system frequencies were outside
the normal operating limits (49.75Hz - 50.25Hz) but remained within
the lower and higher bound stress limits (48.75Hz - 51.25Hz). The
average lower daily (304.36kV) and average upper daily (355.13kV)
system voltages were however outside the prescribed regulatory limits
(313.50kV - 346.50kV). The Commission is aware of the system risk
posed by the continuous operation of the grid outside the normal
operating limits and continues to push the SO to improve its system
coordination activities accordingly.

During 2024/Q2, there was one (1) incident of partial collapse on the
national grid. The incident occurred on 15 April 2024. In line with
section 20.1 of the Grid Code, the SO is expected to submit to the
Commission, a detailed report containing the root causes of the
incidents along with mitigation plans to avoid future recurrence.

Commercial Performance

The commercial performance of the 2024/Q2 report covers energy

offtake performance, billing efficiency, collection efficiency, aggregate
technical, commercial, and collection loss, as well as the market
remittance of relevant market participants. The Commission monitors

x [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

 SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

the financial performance of the NESI to ensure efficient and

commensurate cash flow along the value chain for the sustainability of
the industry.

a. Energy Offtake Performance: In 2024/Q2, the average energy

offtake by DisCos at their trading points was 3,165.93MWh/h which
was a decrease of -3.59% (-119.9MWh/h) compared to the
3,283.87MWh/h recorded in 2024/Q1.

b. Billing Efficiency: The total energy received by all DisCos in

2024/Q2 was 6,914.39GWh while the energy billed to end-use
customers was 5,693.11GWh, translating into an overall billing
efficiency of 82.34%. This represents an increase of +1.89pp relative
to the 80.45% recorded in 2024/Q1.

c. Collection Efficiency: The total revenue collected by all DisCos in

2024/Q2 was ₦431.16 billion out of ₦543.64 billion billed to
A total of
₦431.16 customers. This translates to a collection efficiency of 79.31% which

bill 100% of energy delivered to customers (technical and commercial
losses) and the collection losses arising from the DisCo’s inability to
collect 100% of the bills issued to customers.

The ATC&C loss in 2024/Q2 was 34.70% comprising - technical and

commercial loss (17.66%) and collection loss (20.69%). The ATC&C
loss improved by -1.66pp compared to 2024/Q1 (36.36%).

In 2024/Q2, Yola was the only DisCo that recorded a lower ATC&C
(48.04%) than its target (56.00%). The inability of DisCos to achieve
their respective ATC&C targets means that they are not able to recover
the full revenues they require to provide returns to investors and in
some instances – they may not even fully recover the cost of delivering
electricity to the customers. Ultimately, both cases may lead to the
erosion of their long-term financial sustainability.

xi [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

e. Market remittance: In 2024/Q2, the cumulative upstream invoice

payable by DisCos was ₦399.53 billion, consisting of ₦343.76 billion
for DRO-adjusted generation costs from NBET 1 and ₦55.77 billion for
transmission and administrative services by the Market Operator
(MO). Out of this amount, the DisCos collectively remitted a total sum
of ₦318.65 billion (₦271.87 billion for NBET and ₦46.78 billion for
MO) with an outstanding balance of ₦80.88 billion. This translates to
a remittance performance of 79.76% in 2024/Q2 compared to the
96.93% recorded in 2024/Q1. The disaggregated DisCos remittance
performance to the market for 2024/Q2 is presented in Figure C.

f. Remittance by Special and Bilateral Customers: In 2024/Q2, the four

(4) international bilateral customers serviced by the MO made a
cumulative payment of $9.81 million against the $15.60 million invoice
issued to them by the MO for services rendered in 2024/Q2. Similarly,
the domestic bilateral customers made a cumulative payment of
₦1,295.90 million against the cumulative invoice of ₦1,991.30 million
issued to them by the MO for services rendered in 2024/Q2 2.

Figure C: DRO adjusted invoices and remittances in 2024/Q2

1
The NBET invoice payable by the DisCos for 2024/Q2 was only ₦343.76 billion because the FGN has taken
responsibility for ~52% (₦380.06 billion) of the total generation costs in the form of subsidies arising from the
freezing of end-use customer tariffs at the rates that became effective in December 2022.
2
It is noteworthy that both local and international bilateral customers made payments during 2024/Q2 for
outstanding MO invoices from previous quarters; the international bilateral customers paid $16.65 million while
the domestic bilateral customers paid ₦1,309.97 million. The details of these payments are contained in
Appendix VII.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

The Commission expects DisCos to utilise a combination of the five

(5) meter financing frameworks that have been provided in the
2021 Meter Asset Provider and National Mass Metering
Regulations (NERC – R – 113 – 2021) to close their respective
metering gaps. As a safeguard for customers against exploitation
due to the lack of meters, the Commission has continued to issue
monthly energy caps for all feeders in each DisCo. This sets the
maximum amount of energy that may be billed to an unmetered
customer for the respective month based on gross energy received
by the DisCo and the consumption by metered customers.

2.0 STATE OF THE INDUSTRY

Pursuant to Section 34(1)(e) of the Electricity Act 2023 which states that "the
Commission shall ensure the safety, security, reliability, and quality of service in the
production and delivery of electricity to consumers”, the Nigerian Electricity
Regulatory Commission (NERC) continues to monitor the technical, operational, and
commercial performance of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).

The Commission’s evaluation of the state of the NESI for 2024/Q2 covers the
following key areas –

• Operational performance: a measure of how effectively available resources

are utilised to generate electricity
• Grid performance: a measure of the technical performance of the national
grid relative to the standards set out in the extant codes
• Commercial performance: a measure of the flow of funds from customers to
upstream electricity industry players

2.1 Operational Performance

The operational performance of the NESI is a measure of how effectively available

resources are utilised to generate electricity. Optimum operational performance is
essential to ensure the generation, wheeling, and supply of adequate, affordable
and safe electricity. In evaluating the operational performance of the NESI in
2024/Q2, the following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were considered:

• Available generation
• Plant availability factor
• Total quarterly generation
• Generation load factor
• Generation mix

2.1.1 Available Generation

In 2024/Q2, the number of grid-connected plants increased by one (1) to twenty-

eight (28) as a result of the operationalisation of the Zungeru hydropower plant,
which began evacuating power to the grid on 29 April 2024. For this quarter, the

2 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

average available generation capacity of the grid-connected power plants was

4,395.77MW.

In comparison to 2024/Q1, the average available generation capacity of the grid-

connected power plants (excluding Zungeru 4) decreased by -5.28% (-224.29MW)
from the 4,249.10MW recorded in 2024/Q1 to 4,024.81MW; this was driven by
the decrease in the available capacity of twenty (20) grid-connected power plants.

The average available generation capacity of selected power plants in 2024/Q2

relative to 2024/Q1 is presented in Figure 1. The most significant increases in
average available capacity were recorded in Egbin ST (Gas) (+52.92%), Rivers IPP
(+51.70%), Geregu NIPP (+49.23%), and Sapele ST (+30.47%) power plants.
Conversely, significant decreases in average available capacities during the period
were recorded in Sapele GT NIPP (-98.64%), Ihovbor NIPP (-97.64%), Olorunsogo
NIPP (-78.49%), Dadin owa (-74.86%), Afam IV – V (-56.30%) and Geregu (-
33.24%) power plants.

2.1.2 Plant Availability Factor

The availability factor of a plant is measured as a ratio of the maximum rated output
of the plant declared by the operator (available capacity) relative to the maximum
rated output specified by the manufacturer (installed capacity). The available
capacity of a plant may change from time to time due to several factors including i)
atmospheric conditions at the plant; ii) mechanical availability of the plant (planned
and unplanned outages); iii) feedstock availability, etc. The formula for the plant
availability factor (PAF) is represented by equation 1:

average available capacity (MW)

Plant availability factor × 100 (1)
installed capacity (MW)

The plant availability factor (PAF) is a critical parameter for evaluating the overall
health of the upstream segment of the NESI. In 2024/Q2, the average plant
availability factor for all grid-connected plants was 32.30% which shows that more
than 67% of the installed capacity in the NESI was unavailable.

Overall, only four (4) plants had availability factors above 50% with the Azura IPP
plant recording the highest availability factor - 98.05%. On the other end of the
spectrum, Omotosho NIPP, Ihovbor NIPP, Alaoji NIPP, and Sapele GT NIPP all
recorded 0% PAF in 2024/Q2.

This is the second consecutive quarter where all four (4) power plants; Alaoji NIPP,
Ihovbor NIPP, Omotosho NIPP, and Sapele GT NIPP have recorded <5% PAF due
to gas issues. As reported in the 2024/Q1 report (section 2.1.2), the management
of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) is working with its gas
supplier and other relevant stakeholders to implement measures to resolve the issues
hindering gas supply to these power plants.

The PAF of all the grid-connected plants is contained in Table 1. The hydropower
plants; Dadin owa (-47.80pp), ainji (-17.34pp), Shiroro (-13.59pp), and Jebba
(-5.46pp) recorded decreases in PAF in 2024/Q2 compared to 2024/Q1. The
decrease in the PAF of the hydropower plants is consistent with the expected impact
of seasonality on river flows. The capacities of hydropower plants are constrained
by water availability from January to July every year.

2.1.3 Total Quarterly Generation

The hourly output produced by all the units in a power plant fluctuates based on grid
demand, mechanical operability of the unit(s), and the availability of feedstock.
Plants are only dispatched when the load on the grid is sufficient to offtake the energy
while operating within acceptable technical limits. The factors that determine the
dispatch of a plant include:

• Plant availability (mechanical and feedstock)

• Load offtake on the grid
• Financial competitiveness of the plant in the economic merit order dispatch

The average hourly generation on the grid in 2024/Q2 was 4,018.57MWh/h,

which translates to a total generation of 8,776.55GWh (equation 2).

Total generation Ave. hourly generation (MWh/h)×24hrs× number of days in the quarter (2)

Both the hourly generation and total generation of the grid-connected power plants
(excluding Zungeru) decreased by -9.52%5 respectively in 2024/Q2 compared to
generation in 2024/Q1; the hourly generation decreased from 4,069.57MWh/h
recorded in 2024/Q1 to 3,682.02MWh/h in 2024/Q2 (-387.56MWh/h) while the
total generation decreased from 8,887.93GWh generated in 2024/Q1 to
8,041.50GWh in 2024/Q2 (-846.43GWh). The significant decrease in generation
is attributable to the decrease in the available capacity of many power plants during
the quarter as explained in section 2.1.1.

The most significant decreases in average hourly generation were recorded in

Olorunsogo NIPP (-78.72%), Dadin owa Hydro (-75.12%), Afam IV-V (-61.12%),
Geregu (-36.58%) and Shiroro (-36.34%) power plants. The average hourly
generation of ainji (-31.82%), Afam VI (-17.40%), Delta GS (-2.98%), and Azura
IPP (-0.41%) power plants also decreased in 2024/Q2 compared to 2024/Q1
(Figure 2). Conversely, the average hourly generation of Egbin ST (Gas)

The percentage change in total generation and average hourly generation is the same across Q2/2024 vs
Q1/2024 because the number of days in each of the quarters is the same (92 days). When there is a difference
between the number of the days of the quarters being compared, the percentage in total generation will be
different from the percentage change in average hourly generation. For ease of comparison with other sections
of the report, the average hourly generation is used in the subsequent analyses.

2.1.4 Generation Load Factor

The load factor is a measure of the utilisation of a power plant’s available capacity,
calculated as the ratio of the average electricity generated over a period to the
maximum possible generation (assuming all the available capacity is utilised all the
time over the period). A higher load factor means better capacity utilisation thereby
reducing the cost per unit of energy and increasing profitability, as fixed costs are
spread over a larger amount of dispatched energy. The load factor (also known as

8 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

the dispatch rate) reflects both the demand for energy and a plant’s ability to supply
it. The formula for load factor is represented by equation 3:

Total Energy Generated (MWh)

Load Factor × 100 (3)
Ave. Available Capacity (MW)×24hrs×period (in days)

The overall load factor for all grid-connected power plants in 2024/Q2 was
91.42%; meaning that on average, 8.58% of available energy (MWh) was not
dispatched during the quarter. The load factor of grid-connected plants (excluding
Zungeru) was 91.48% which is a -4.29pp decrease compared to the 95.77% load
factor recorded in 2024/Q1. When combined with the reduction in the average
available capacity of these plants as indicated in section 2.1.1, this indicates a
decrease in the utilisation of available capacity and the total energy delivered to
the National Grid in 2024/Q2.

The load factors of the seven (7) power plants with the highest dispatch rates in
2024/Q2 are presented in Figure 3. Four (4) power plants (Omoku, Trans Amadi,
Olorunsogo NIPP, and Omotosho) recorded dispatch rates of 100% with ten (10)
other power plants recording dispatch rates above 90%. While ainji and Dadin
owa hydropower plants recorded dispatch rates >90%, Shiroro and Jebba
recorded dispatch rates of 87.98% and 87.28% respectively. This is inconsistent
with the Commission’s Order No: NERC/182/2019 6 and further investigations are
being undertaken by the Commission to determine if sanctions should be issued
against relevant market participants.

6
The Order stipulates that hydropower plants which are the cheapest energy generation source, should be
dispatched with priority to reduce wholesale energy costs for consumers

2.1.5 Generation Mix

The electricity generation mix refers to the combination of fuels used to generate
electricity over a period. The composition of the generation mix varies across
countries and is influenced by factors such as natural resource availability,
government policies, environmental considerations, type of power plants, energy
demand, and seasonal fluctuations. An ideal energy mix must balance the three key
elements of the energy trilemma: i) Energy Security2; ii) Energy Sustainability3; and
iii) Energy Affordability/Equity4. The formula for the share of electricity generated
by fuel source is given by equation 4:

Total electricty generated from fuel i (MWh)

Share of fueli × 100 (4)
Total electricity generated from all fuel sources (MWh)

The share of electricity generated from different fuel sources in 2024/Q1 and
2024/Q2 are presented in Figure 4. The contribution from hydropower plants to
total generation (2,367.68GWh) increased by +2.66% (+61.29GWh) in 2024/Q2
compared to 2024/Q1 (2,306.39GWh). This translated to a +1.02pp increase in
the contribution of hydropower to the energy mix over the same period; 25.95%
(2,306.39GWh) in 2024/Q1 to 26.98% (2,367.68GWh) in 2024/Q2. The
increase in the contribution of hydropower plants to total generation during the

2.2 Grid Performance

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) which has the responsibility of

transporting energy from power plants to DisCos holds two licenses; Transmission
Service Provider (TSP) and System Operator (SO). The TSP owns and maintains the
transmission infrastructure while the SO is responsible for maintaining system
stability, load balance, load dispatch, and undertaking market operations
responsibilities. To assess the performance of the grid, the Commission focuses on
the following four (4) ey Performance Indicators ( PIs) that relate to power

2.2.1 Transmission Loss Factor

Transmission Loss Factor (TLF) refers to the proportion of the total energy sent out
by the power plants that was either lost in transmission or utilised in the transmission
station i.e., neither delivered to the DisCos nor exported to international customers.
There is an inverse relationship between the TLF and the efficiency of the transmission
system; i.e. a decline in the TLF indicates an improvement in transmission efficiency
over a given period. The formula for TLF is represented by equation 5:

Energy delivered to all DisCos+Energy Exported

TLF (1- ) ×100 (5)
Energy Sent out by all GenCos

The average TLF in 2024/Q2 was 7.79% 7 (Figure 5). A TLF of 7.79% indicates that
for every 100MWh of energy injected into the grid, 7.79MWh of energy is
undelivered to DisCos and international customers due to losses in the transmission
network or consumption at the transmission substations. The TLF recorded in
2024/Q2 represents a decrease (improvement) of -0.69pp relative to the 8.48%
recorded in 2024/Q1.

The 7.79% TLF recorded in 2024/Q2 represents an underperformance of 0.79pp

relative to the MYTO target for 2024 – 7.00%. The TLF target represents the
maximum efficient loss in transmission that is paid by the customers. Exceeding the
TLF target means that the Transmission Service Provider (TSP) will not earn its full
revenue requirement because there is no provision to recover revenues needed to
cover the excess (inefficient) losses.

7
This represents the average TLF recorded in April and June only – May has been excluded because of the
extraordinarily low TLF recorded in the month as a result of the fact that energy injected into the grid by Zungeru
between 29 April to 15 May 2024 was not apportioned to DisCos and thus was used to net off transmission
losses on the grid during the period.

2.2.2 Grid Frequency

Frequency is a crucial power quality parameter that industrial customers are

particularly concerned about due to the sensitivity of their heavy-duty machinery. In
industrial production assembly lines, the machines are designed to operate only
within pre-set frequency tolerance limits and therefore often have a low tolerance
for frequency fluctuations.

As specified in section 10.1.2 of the Grid Code, the standard frequency for
operation on the Grid is 50Hz. The code provides that under normal circumstances,
the grid can operate within a deviation of ±0.5% i.e. between a lower limit of
49.75Hz and an upper limit of 50.25Hz. Section 10.1.2 of the Grid Code further
provides that in extreme circumstances, the grid may operate within a tolerance of
±2.5% i.e. system frequency may reach a lower bound stress limit of 48.75Hz and
an upper bound stress limit of 51.25Hz.

A system’s stability over a given period is measured by its ability to operate as close
as possible to the 50Hz benchmark set in the Grid Code; this means that the lower
the range between the average upper daily system frequency and the average
lower daily system frequency, the more stable the system has been.

13 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

During 2024/Q2, the average upper daily system frequency was 50.64Hz, while
the average lower daily system frequency was 49.13Hz, which translates to a range
of 1.51Hz. Comparatively, in 2024/Q1, the average upper daily system frequency
was 50.68Hz, while the average lower system frequency was 49.00Hz, with a
range of 1.68Hz. The -10.12% (-0.17Hz) decrease in the average quarterly
frequency range recorded in 2024/Q2 relative to 2024/Q1 indicates an
improvement in the operational performance of the National Grid.

Figure 6: Monthly System Frequency from Jan - June 2024

It is noteworthy that in May, the average upper frequency (50.06Hz) was lower
than the upper range allowed in the grid code – this is the first month in over seven
(7) years where the national grid has operated at an average upper frequency
within 50.25Hz limit for steady-state operation. While the average lower frequency
(49.23Hz) was outside of the steady state limit contained in the grid code
(49.75Hz), it was the closest average to the target recorded in over five (5) years
further verifying the improved performance of the grid in May 2024 (Figure 6).

14 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

The operation of the grid outside the normal frequency limits indicates an imbalance
in the supply and demand of electricity on the grid. This imbalance is primarily
caused by the lack of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
The System Operator (SO) has invested in an IoT-based solution to improve real-
time visibility into the operations of the Grid. However, the inability to remotely
operate the entire system as would be possible under the SCADA system continues
to pose challenges to the SO’s ability to operate the grid within the normal frequency
limits provided in the grid code.

2.2.3 Voltage Fluctuation

To guarantee the quality of electricity delivered to end users, the Grid Code specifies
a nominal system voltage of 330kV with a tolerance range of ±5% (313.50kV to
346.50kV in the lower and upper bounds respectively). Fluctuations in grid voltage,
including spikes, dips, flickers, and brownouts, can cause significant harm to
consumers and result in substantial commercial losses. Extreme cases of voltage
fluctuations, particularly at the distribution network level can cause severe damage
to industrial machines thereby compelling the industrial customers to seek alternative
sources of power outside of the National Grid.

The system voltage pattern from Jan - June 2024 is illustrated in Figure 7. The
average upper and lower operating voltage bounds for the transmission network in
2024/Q2 were 355.13kV and 304.36kV respectively; both values are outside the
respective allowable limits specified in the Grid Code.

By way of comparison, the range between the Grid’s average upper and lower
operating voltage for 2024/Q2 was 50.77kV which is lower than the 55.58kV
(average upper and lower voltages of 353.18kV and 297.60kV respectively) that
was recorded in 2024/Q1. This finding confirms the conclusion from section 2.2.2
that there was an improvement in the operational efficiency of the National Grid in
2024/Q2 relative to 2024/Q1.

The Commission continues to engage with TCN and other stakeholders to ensure
sustained efforts at keeping the system voltage within the regulated limits, providing
a safe and reliable electricity supply to end users.

Figure 7: Monthly System Voltage (kV) from Jan - June 2024

2.2.4 System Collapse

The national power grid is a vast network of electrical transmission lines that link
power stations to end-use customers across the nation and is designed to function
within specific stability boundaries, including voltage (330kV ± 5.0%) and frequency
(50Hz ± 0.5%). Any deviation from these stability ranges can result in decreased
power quality and, in severe cases, cause widespread power outages ranging from
a partial collapse of a section of the grid to a full system-wide blackout.

While the SO is responsible for ensuring that all parameters are maintained within
their respective tolerance thresholds, the primary parameter that the SO tracks to
avoid system disturbances is frequency. When the electricity demand is higher than
the supply, the grid frequency drops. Conversely, if supply surpasses demand, the
frequency increases. In reaction to the grid operating at a frequency outside of the
normal operation range (especially when the frequency is too low), safety settings
on generation units can cause the units to shut down. This often exacerbates the
frequency imbalance on the grid thereby leading even more generation units to shut
down causing a full or partial system collapse.

2.3 Commercial Performance

The commercial performance of the NESI is a measure of the flow of funds from
customers to upstream electricity industry players. The financial performance is
critical because funds are required to keep all the players along the value chain
operational. In evaluating the commercial performance of the NESI for 2024/Q2,
the following parameters were considered:

• Energy offtake performance

• Energy billed and billing efficiency
• Revenue and collection efficiency
• Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) loss
• Remittances to the Market Operator (MO) and the Nigerian Bulk Electricity
Trading Company (NBET).

2.3.1 Energy offtake performance

The Partial Activation of Contract (PAC) regime, which took effect in July 2022,
defines the target volume of energy to be off-taken by DisCos at any time as their
Partially Contracted Capacity (PCC). As explained in prior reports, under the PAC
regime, DisCos have take-or-pay obligations on their PCC which means that they
must pay for available capacity irrespective of their offtake. This structure is
consistent with international best practices for long-term contract-based power
procurement and ensures that GenCos earn capacity payments to compensate them
for availability.

The PAC regime also mandates GenCos or TCN to compensate DisCos through
Liquidated Damages (LDs) in the event of capacity shortfalls. Under the single-buyer
model being operated in the NESI, when there is a shortfall in generation, LDs from
GenCos are treated as net-offs in the invoices issued to NBET thereby reducing the
net payables due from DisCos.

When there is sufficient generation capacity, every DisCo will be directed by the SO
to offtake its entire PCC. When generation falls below the required target, the SO
prorates the available capacity among all DisCos based on their respective PCCs 10

10
Commencing 2023/Q3, the Commission developed a mechanism whereby Abuja, Eko and Ikeja DisCos get
their full allocation provided that generation is above 4,100MW which is the minimum grid stability requirement;
the rest of the capacity is pro-rated based on PCC for the remaining DisCos. When available generation is below
4,100MW, generation allocation to all the DisCos is pro-rated based on PCC.

18 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

– “Available PCC”. The ratio between a DisCo’s energy offtake and the available
PCC is known as the “energy offtake performance”. The formula for determining a
DisCo’s energy offtake performance is represented by equation 6:

Energy Offtake
Energy Offtake performance (%) ( ) ×100 (6)
Available PCC

Considering the large disparity between energy on the national grid and customer
demand, it is expected that DisCos will offtake 100% of their available PCC at all
times. However, the Commission continues to observe with concern that many DisCos
do not take their full PCC due to a combination of technical limitations as well as
load rejection by the DisCos largely due to commercial reasons i.e., high commercial
and collection losses in certain areas.

It is noteworthy that when DisCos have offtake ratios below 100%, this means that
they incur increased wholesale energy costs as they still have to pay NBET/GenCos
for unused capacity. The tariff methodology utilised by the Commission does not
allow DisCos to recover the resultant additional wholesale energy costs (relative to
the volume of energy offtaken) from customers.

In 2024/Q2, the average energy offtake by DisCos at their trading points was
3,165.93MWh/h, which represents a decrease of -3.59% (-117.94MWh/h) when
compared to 3,283.87MWh/h off-take in 2024/Q1. The reduction in the average
energy offtake at trading points was because of the reduction in energy available
for offtake (PCC) driven by the reduced generation explained in section 2.1.3.

The cumulative energy offtake performance of DisCos during the quarter was
99.29% which is +6.94pp greater than the 92.35% achieved in 2024/Q1.
Disaggregated DisCo performance shows that all the DisCos except Jos DisCo took
more than 90% of its PCC during the quarter. Nine (9) DisCos recorded increases
in their offtake performances between 2024/Q1 and 2024/Q2 with Port Harcourt,
Benin and Eko DisCos recording the most significant improvements of +12.21pp,
+9.31pp and +9.00pp respectively. Conversely, Jos and Yola DisCos recorded
decreases of –2.57pp and -0.38pp respectively, in their energy offtake performance
between 2024/Q1 and 2024/Q2 (Table 4).

The Commission will continue to undertake regulatory activities that will compel
DisCos to improve their operational capacities to facilitate the maximum utilisation
of energy that is made available by the GenCos.

2.3.2 Energy billed and billing efficiency

Billing efficiency measures the proportion of energy billed to customers (including

metered and unmetered customers) relative to the total energy supplied to a given
area over a period. The key drivers of billing losses are i) technical - energy loss in
distribution lines; ii) commercial - DisCo's inability to account for 100% of the energy
supplied. Commercial losses could either be a result of theft on the part of the
customer i.e. a meter bypass, or other factors under the DisCo’s control such as poor
customer enumeration, and the proliferation of inaccurate meters. A billing efficiency
of 70% means that only ₦70.00 worth of electricity is billed out of ₦100.00 worth
of electricity distributed by DisCos. The formula for billing efficiency is represented
by equation 7:

Total energy billed to customers (GWh)

Billing Efficiency ( ) ×100 (7)
Total energy received by the Network (GWh)

The total energy offtake by all DisCos in 2024/Q2 was 6,914.39GWh and the total
energy billed was 5,693.11GWh, which translates to a billing efficiency of 82.34%.

20 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

A billing efficiency of 82.34% implies that for every ₦100 worth of energy received
by DisCos in 2024/Q2, ₦17.66 was not billed to end users. Comparatively, the
total energy received and billed in 2024/Q1 were 7,171.93GWh and
5,769.52GWh respectively, which translated to a billing efficiency of 80.45%. This
means that at the aggregated level, the NESI recorded a +1.89pp increase in billing
efficiency between 2024/Q1 and 2024/Q2.

Disaggregated performance of the DisCos shows that Enugu recorded the highest
billing efficiency of 95.33%, while aduna recorded the lowest billing efficiency of
63.07%. A quarter-on-quarter comparison of billing efficiency showed that six (6)
DisCos recorded improvements in their billing efficiencies in 2024/Q2 relative to
2024/Q1 with Enugu, Yola and aduna recording the most significant increases of
+14.87pp, +7.31pp and +6.41pp respectively. Conversely, five (5) DisCos
recorded decreases in billing efficiency with Jos (-3.28pp) DisCo recording the most
significant decrease (Table 5).

DisCos have the responsibility of developing strategies to improve their billing

efficiencies. These can include reinforcing DisCos’ infrastructure to reduce technical
losses, improving consumer enumeration and customer service, improving the
metering rate and rolling out initiatives to curb energy theft.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

2.3.3 Revenue and collection efficiency

Collection efficiency is the ratio of the amount that has been collected from customers
relative to the amount billed to them by the DisCos. The significant under-recovery
of the invoices issued to customers by DisCos is driven by a lack of willingness of
customers to pay bills when due, unsatisfactory DisCos’ services and inadequate
customer metering among other challenges. A collection efficiency of 70% for
instance implies that for every ₦100.00 worth of energy billed to customers by
DisCos, approximately ₦30.00 remained unrecovered from the billed customers.
The formula for collection efficiency is represented by equation 8:

Total Revenue Collected (₦)

Collection Efficiency ( ) ×100 (8)
Total Billed Amount (₦)

The total revenue collected by all DisCos in 2024/Q2 was ₦431.16 billion out of
the ₦543.64 billion that was billed to customers. This translates to a collection
efficiency of 79.31%. In comparison, the total revenue collected by all DisCos in
2024/Q1 was ₦291.62 billion out of the ₦368.65 billion billed to customers which
translated to a 79.11% collection efficiency. The 79.31% collection efficiency
recorded in 2024/Q2 is +0.20pp higher than the collection efficiency recorded in
2024/Q1 (79.11%).

The summary of the revenue collection performance of all DisCos is contained in

Table 6. Ikeja and Eko DisCos recorded the highest collection efficiencies of 94.67%
and 88.03% respectively, conversely, Yola DisCo recorded the lowest collection
efficiency of 55.67%. A comparison of DisCos performance in 2024/Q1 and
2024/Q2 showed that six (6) DisCos recorded improvements in collection efficiency
in 2024/Q2 when compared to 2024/Q1 with Yola DisCo recording the highest
increase of +12.64pp. Conversely, five (5) DisCos recorded declines in collection
efficiency with aduna having the most significant decrease (-10.04pp) during the
period.

All DisCos 368.65 291.62 79.11 543.64 431.16 79.31

The increase in billing efficiency (+1.89pp) and collection efficiency (+0.20pp)

recorded in 2024/Q2 compared to 2024/Q1 despite a significant reduction in the
energy offtake (-3.59%) continues a trend that has been observed previously. There
is an inverse relationship between energy offtake and billing/collection efficiencies
whereby a decrease in energy offtake would result in an increase in
billing/collection efficiency. One driving factor behind this trend is that when there
is lower energy offtake, DisCos often allocate the energy to areas where they record
reduced billing and collection inefficiencies.

The most proven method to improve energy accountability and revenue recovery is
accurate customer enumeration and the installation of end-use customer meters. The
Commission issued the Order on the Operationalisation of Tranche A of the Meter
Acquisition Fund (MAF) during the quarter. The Order which became effective on
24th June 2024 directed DisCos to utilise the first tranche of disbursement from the
MAF scheme to procure and install meters for unmetered Band A customers within
their franchise areas. DisCos are also still expected to continue to utilise one or more
metering frameworks provided for in the NERC MAP and NMMP metering
regulation (2021) to improve end-use customer metering in their franchise area. This

23 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

will reduce commercial and collection losses thereby improving the flow of funds to
upstream market participants in the NESI.

Furthermore, DisCos must continue to evaluate options for improving the

optimisation of their energy delivery in line with the Service Based Tariff (SBT) regime
to ensure that sufficient energy is supplied to customer groups/clusters with the
highest collection efficiencies.

2.3.4 Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) Loss

The Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) loss is a summation

of billing losses incurred by a DisCo due to its inability to bill 100% of energy
delivered to customers (technical and commercial losses) and the collection losses
arising from the DisCo’s inability to collect 100% of the bills issued to customers. The
ATC&C loss is a critical performance-setting parameter for tariff computation as the
MYTO makes allowance for target ATC&C loss levels for each DisCo.

The target ATC&C reflects the efficient operational losses which the DisCo is
expected to incur in its operations and this is recoverable from the allowed tariffs.
The target ATC&C usually reduces over time as DisCos make investments that are
geared towards improving operational efficiency. ATC&C loss is made up of the
following components:

a. Technical Loss: heat loss due to load flow in electrical lines and transformation
loss in transformers.
b. Commercial Loss: due to discrepancy in meter reading, erroneous billing,
unmetered consumption, or energy theft;
c. Collection Loss: unpaid bills.

The formula for ATC&C loss is represented by equation 9:

ATC&C Loss [1-(billing efficiency × collection efficiency)] ×100 (9)

Any DisCo that can outperform its allowed ATC&C (i.e., has a lower actual ATC&C
than the target used to compute its cost-reflective tariff) will earn more returns on its
set tariffs. Conversely, any DisCo that fails to meet its allowed ATC&C (i.e., has a
higher actual ATC&C than the target), will be unable to earn the expected returns
on its set tariffs and could risk long-term financial challenges.

The aggregate ATC&C loss recorded across all 11 DisCos in 2024/Q2 was
34.70%, which comprised 17.66% in technical and commercial losses, and 20.69%
in collection loss (Table 7). The aggregate ATC&C loss of 34.70% recorded in
2024/Q2 is 9.97pp higher than the allowed aggregate efficient loss target
(24.73%) applied in the computation of the tariffs in the MYTO. This means that
cumulatively, DisCos recorded losses that are 9.97pp higher than what was allowed
to be recovered from the customers – these inefficient losses that are not recoverable
from customers will adversely affect DisCos' profitability.

The ATC&C loss for 2024/Q2 (34.70%) reduced by -1.66pp compared to 36.36%
recorded in 2024/Q1. Eight (8) DisCos recorded improvements in ATC&C loss
performance in 2024/Q2 compared to 2024/Q1 with the highest improvements
recorded by Yola (-14.32pp) and Enugu (-6.49pp). Conversely, Ikeja (+6.12pp),
ano (+3.46pp) and aduna (+1.80pp) DisCos recorded worse ATC&C loss
performances in 2024/Q2 compared to 2024/Q1 (Table 7).

Yola DisCo outperformed its allowed ATC&C in 2024/Q2 by achieving an actual

ATC&C of 48.04% which is lower than the set target of 56.00%. This means that
during the quarter, Yola DisCo was able to earn 100% of its revenue requirement
for the period which should allow it to cover all market obligations as well as
operational costs. The other DisCos did not achieve their target ATC&C in 2024/Q2
with the widest variance (target – actual) being recorded by aduna (-36.76pp)
and ano (-31.19pp). The failure of the DisCos to meet their allowed loss targets
means they are unable to meet revenue requirements, thereby compromising their
long-term financial position. The Commission is working with all the DisCos to take
remedial actions through customer enumeration and increased revenue assurance
to improve their ATC&C loss.

2.3.5 Market Remittance

Under the account administration mechanism set up by the CBN in 2013 as part of
the Nigerian Electricity Market Stabilisation Facility (NEMSF) intervention, all the
collections of the DisCos are escrowed. The DisCos only have access to their
revenues after relevant deductions towards their loan obligations have been made.
This escrow mechanism also provides visibility into the financial performance of the
DisCos with respect to collections.

In June 2020, the remit of the fund manager responsible for the escrow was
expanded to include the implementation of the payment waterfall framework which
was designed by the Commission to increase upstream market remittance to NBET
and TCN. This was to cover the cost of energy taken from GenCos, transmission
charges (payable to the TSP) and the MO’s administrative charges.

Prompt payment of upstream invoices is critical for securing the availability of

generation and transmission capacities. The waterfall regime pushes DisCos to boost
their collections because most of their allowed revenues rank below the payment of
market obligations in the waterfall.

2.3.5.1 Market Remittance to NBET

In the absence of cost-reflective tariffs, the Government undertakes to cover the

resultant gap (between the cost-reflective and allowed tariff) in the form of tariff
subsidies. For ease of administration, the subsidy is only applied to the generation

26 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

cost payable by DisCos to NBET at source in the form of a DisCo’s Remittance

Obligation (DRO). The DRO represents the total GenCo invoice that is billed to the
DisCos by NBET based on what the allowed DisCo tariffs can cover 11.

As explained in the 2024/Q1 report, the DRO regime replaced the Minimum
Remittance Obligation 12 (MRO) framework in January 2024 and DisCos are
expected to pay 100% of their DROs. The transition to the DRO regime was
necessitated by the risk of unpaid tariff subsidy debts encumbering the balance
sheets of the DisCos thereby preventing them from raising finance to undertake
critical investments. Furthermore, DisCos are expected to remit 100% of the invoices
received from the MO for transmission and administrative service costs.

The total NBET invoices and final obligation for each DisCo (based on DRO) during
2024/Q2 are summarised in Table 8. It is important to note that due to the absence
of cost-reflective tariffs across all DisCos, the Government incurred a subsidy
obligation of ₦380.06 billion (52.51% of total NBET invoice) in 2024/Q2 (average
of ₦126.69 billion per month). Between 2024/Q1 and 2024/Q2, the subsidy
obligation of the government reduced by - ₦253.24 billion, from ₦633.30 billion
(90.57% of total GenCo invoice) to ₦380.06 billion (52.51% of total GenCo
invoice). The significant decrease in the subsidy obligation of the FGN is a result of
the policy directive of the Government to implement reviews of tariffs charged to
Band A customers while the tariffs for Band B-E customers remain frozen at the rates
payable since December 2022.

In 2024/Q2, the DRO-adjusted invoice from NBET to the DisCos was ₦343.76
billion 13 while the total remittance made was ₦271.87 billion, which translates to a
79.09%% remittance performance. Comparatively, in 2024/Q1, the DRO-adjusted
invoice from NBET to DisCos was ₦65.96 billion and the total remittance was
₦65.52 billion, which translated to a 99.33% remittance performance. This means
that the remittance performance of DisCos to NBET decreased by –20.24pp in

11
The outstanding portion of GenCo invoice not covered by allowed tariffs and thus not billed to the DisCos is
to be covered by the FGN in the form of tariff subsidies.
12
For the MRO framework, DisCos are invoiced 100% of energy cost but only expected to pay MRO share of
the invoice. The outstanding balance is only cleared from the DisCo’s record when the FGN subsidy is paid to
NBET

Total NBET invoice for 2024/Q2 without adjustment for DRO (total bill issued by GenCos) is ₦723.82

Disaggregated remittance performance of the DisCos to NBET in 2024/Q2 showed

that only Yola DisCo recorded a remittance performance ≥100%, conversely,
aduna and Jos DisCos recorded the lowest remittance performances of 29.28%
and 66.03% respectively (Figure 8). A quarter-on-quarter analysis showed that ten
(10) DisCos recorded declines in remittance performance to NBET in 2024/Q2
compared to 2024/Q1. Only Yola (+10.33pp) recorded an improvement in their
remittance performance to NBET.

As indicated above, the reduction in the remittance performance (-20.24pp) of

DisCos to NBET during the quarter (2024/Q2) is directly attributable to the fact that
the DisCos share of the GenCo invoice increased from 9.43% in 2024/Q1 to
47.49% in 2024/Q2.

2.4.5.4 Market Remittance by Other Customers

The remittances made by bilateral customers (domestic and international) and

special customers for invoices issued in 2024/Q2 by the MO are detailed in Table
10. The four (4) international bilateral customers being supplied by GenCos in the
NESI made a payment of $9.81 million against the cumulative invoice of $15.60
million issued by the MO for services rendered in 2024/Q2, translating to a
remittance performance of 62.88% (Table 10). The domestic bilateral customers
made a payment of ₦1,295.90 million against the cumulative invoice of ₦1,991.30
million issued to them by the MO for services rendered in 2024/Q2 translating to
65.07% remittance performance (Table 10).

It is however noteworthy that some bilateral customers (both domestic and

international customers) made payments during 2024/Q2 for outstanding MO
invoices from previous quarters. Cumulatively, the international bilateral customers
paid a total of $16.65 million; Transcorp-SBEE and Mainstream-NIGELEC have
made payments towards all outstanding invoices from previous quarters. Similarly,
the MO received ₦1,309.97 million from the domestic bilateral customers towards
outstanding invoices from previous quarters; Mainstream Energy Solutions has made
payment towards all outstanding invoices from previous quarters. The details of
these payments are contained in Appendix VII.

The special customer (Ajaokuta Steel Co. Ltd and the host community) did not make
any payment towards the ₦1.39 billion (NBET) and ₦0.11 billion (MO) invoices
received in 2024/Q2. This continues a longstanding trend of non-payment by this
customer and the Commission has communicated the need for intervention on this
issue to the relevant FGN authorities. A continuation of the non-payment could
trigger total disconnection from the grid.

3.0 REGULATORY FUNCTIONS

Section 34 (2)(d) of the EA 2023 provides that the Commission is empowered to

“licence and regulate persons engaged in the generation, transmission, system
operation, distribution, supply and trading of electricity” in the NESI. In exercising
the powers conferred on it by the EA 2023, the Commission primarily engages with
participants in the NESI through selected regulatory instruments as prescribed by
law. Some of the regulatory instruments utilised by the Commission include –

• Regulations: Regulations are detailed legal rules, and bye-laws formulated

by the Commission pursuant to sections 46(2), 64, 215 and 226 of the
Electricity Act, to govern and conduct operations within the electricity sector,
ensure adherence to statutory requirements, and give effect to the
implementation of the Act.

• Orders: Orders are authoritative commands, legally binding instructions, and

directions issued by the Commission pursuant to sections 47, 64 and 215 of
the Electricity Act, requiring licensees to perform certain actions, cease, desist
from specific activities, or act in a particular way.

• Directives: Directives are enforceable instructions issued by the Commission

pursuant to sections 64 and 215 of the Electricity Act, to address specific
issues, implement policies, or ensure compliance with regulatory objectives.

• Licences: Licences are authorisations granted by the Commission pursuant to

sections 34(2)(d), 63(1), 64, and 215 of the Electricity Act, that allow entities
to operate in activities such as the generation, transmission, trading and
distribution of electricity under specified terms and conditions.

• Permits: Permits are authorisations issued by the Commission pursuant to

sections 63(2), 64 and 215 of the Electricity Act, for specific activities, such
as the generation of electricity for own use or authorisation to participate as
a meter service provider.

3.1 Regulations, Orders and Directives

3.1.1 Regulations

The Commission did not issue any new Regulation for the NESI in 2024/Q2.

3.1.2 Orders

During the quarter, the Commission issued forty-two (42) Orders to guide the
activities of licensees. The details of the Orders are outlined below:

A. Order Nos: NERC/2024/027—NERC/2024/037 (11 Orders issued to 11

DisCos) — April 2024 Supplementary Order to the Multi-Year Tariff Order
(MYTO) 2024 for the Distribution Companies. Pursuant to Section 23 of the
MYTO 2024 (details of the MYTO 2024 are contained in section 3.1.2 of the
2024/Q1 report), the April supplementary Orders which became effective on
the 3rd of April 2024 sought to reflect the changes in the pass-through indices
outside the control of licensees including inflation rates, ₦/US$ exchange rate,
available generation capacity and gas price for the determination of cost-
reflective tariffs.

Pursuant to Section 116 of the EA and extant regulations, the Commission

considered and approved cost-reflective tariffs for DisCos effective 03 April
2024. The approved tariffs were to remain in place subject to monthly
adjustments for pass-through indices including inflation rates, NGN/US$
exchange rates and gas-to-power prices.

However, in line with the policy direction of the FGN on electricity subsidy, the
allowed tariffs for Band B-E customer categories remained frozen at the rates
payable in December 2022 subject to further policy direction by the government.
This implies that, vide the April 2024 supplementary Order, only the Band A
customer category experienced changes in their tariffs relative to March 2024.

The April supplementary Orders also obligated DisCos to procure a minimum of

10% of their 2024 load allocation from embedded generation to improve supply
reliability and sustain the delivery of Service-Based Tariff (SBT) minimum service
level commitments. The Orders further provided that DisCos must source a
minimum of 50% of the embedded generation capacity from renewable energy
sources.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

F. Order No: NERC/2024/044 — NESI Interim Order on Transmission System

Dispatch Operations, Cross-Border Supply and Related Matters 2024. The Order
became effective on the 1st of May 2024 and sought to;

i. Serve as an interim measure to guide the operations of the System

Operator (SO) and the TCN to implement SOPs, operational support tools
and other requirements to improve transparency and fairness of grid
operations in delivering better services to all customers of the transmission
system.
ii. Place interim caps on capacities supplied to international customers for 6
months from the effective date of the Order thus minimising the
displacement and impact on domestic supply obligations by GenCos and
overall risks to the Nigerian Electricity Market, even when there is a
limitation in generation.

Following the implementation of the April 2024 Supplementary Order, the

Commission observed the sub-optimal grid dispatch operation which
compromised DisCo’s ability to deliver on the SBT committed service levels. The
Commission noted the SO’s practice of managing generation availability by
limiting DisCos load offtake/allocation while prioritising international off-takers
and eligible customers. This Order thus sought to ensure an equitable adjustment
to load allocation for all off-takers (DisCos, international customers and eligible
customers) in the event of a drop in generation and other under-frequency
related grid imbalances necessitating critical grid management.

G. Order No: NERC/2024/045 — Order on the Establishment of the Independent

System Operator (ISO). The Order became effective on the 1st of May 2024
and has the following objectives;

i. Ensure compliance with the provisions of the EA on the incorporation of

the ISO.
ii. Provide clear directives on the timelines for the incorporation of the ISO.
iii. Outline the procedure for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the
market and system operations portion of the business that currently vests
in the TCN to the ISO.

The Order mandates the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) to incorporate a

private company limited by shares to carry out market and system operation

DisCos. Pursuant to Section 7 of the April 2024 supplementary Orders which
provides for monthly tariff reviews, the May 2024 supplementary Orders which
became effective on the 6th of May 2024 sought to reflect the changes in the
pass-through indices outside the control of licensees including inflation rates,
₦/US$ exchange rate, available generation capacity and gas price for the
determination of cost-reflective tariff.

Due to the subsistence of the policy direction of the FGN on electricity subsidy
which mandates that tariffs for Band B-E customer categories shall remain frozen
at the rates payable in December 2022, subject to further policy direction by the
government, only customers in Band A experienced any change in their May
tariffs relative to April 2024.

I. Order No: NERC/2024/059 - NERC/2024/068, NERC/2024/070 (11 Orders

issued to 11 DisCos) — June 2024 Supplementary Order to the Multi-Year Tariff
Order for the DisCos. Pursuant to Section 7 of the May 2024 supplementary
Order which provides for the monthly review of tariffs, the June 2024
supplementary Orders which became effective on the 1st of June 2024 sought
to reflect the changes in the pass-through indices outside the control of licensees
including inflation rates, NGN/US$ exchange rate, available generation
capacity and gas price for the determination of cost-reflective tariff.

Due to the subsistence of the policy direction of the FGN on electricity subsidy,

4.0 CONSUMER AFFAIRS

4.1 Consumer Enlightenment and Stakeholder Engagements

The Commission’s main consumer education and enlightenment mechanisms are

town hall meetings and customer complaints resolution meetings. These are used to
enlighten consumers/stakeholders on the Commission’s activities, regulations,
consumer rights and obligations as well as to ensure swift resolution of complaints.
These fora also provide avenues for the Commission to gather feedback from
consumers which is beneficial to the Commission in its decision-making processes.

As part of its routine activities, the Commission also engages relevant stakeholders
as well as the wider public to apprise them of the Commission’s activities. The main
avenues for the interface between the Commission and stakeholders are:

• NESI stakeholder meetings

• Trainings/Workshops
• General stakeholder engagement activities

The details of these engagements are shared with the public via the Commission’s
social media accounts (LinkedIn, X and Instagram). In addition to the update on the
engagement activities, the Commission also uses these channels to address relevant
issues including:

• Consumer rights and obligations

• Service delivery standards
• NESI performance factsheets
• Regulatory instruments issued by the Commission
• Summary of the statutory reports of the Commission

In 2024/Q2, the Commission held one (1) town hall meeting in Enugu between
18th-20th April 2024. Some of the major issues that were discussed at the town hall
meeting include:

• Serviced Based Tariff (SBT) provisions

• Capping of estimated bills for unmetered customers
• Electricity customer rights and obligations
• Electricity customer redress mechanisms

48 [NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION]

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

• Unauthorised electricity access

• Metering frameworks and
• Strategies by the Commission to ensure improved overall service delivery
to customers.

The Commission also continued to sponsor radio jingles across radio stations
throughout the country. These jingles educate customers on complaint redress
mechanisms and provide addresses of NERC Forum Offices.

4.2 Metering End-Use Customers

As of 30th June 2024, 5,993,340 (45.43%) out of the 13,192,573 registered

There are 5 metering frameworks contained in the Commission’s updated MAP & NMMP Regulations (NERC -
R-113-2021). They are:
• Meter Asset Provider: This framework aims to provide for the provision and maintenance of end-user
meters as a service by third-party investors on which customers benefitting from such meters pay a
Metering Service Charge (MSC) to cover the cost of metering service.
• National Mass Metering Programme: This is a policy intervention with support from the CBN for the
provision of long-term (10-year tenure) single-digit interest loans to DisCos strictly for the provision of
locally manufactured/assembled meters to customers.

metering progress under the NMMP, MAP as well as Vendor and DisCo financed
frameworks are presented in appendices IX, X and XI respectively.

Under the MAP framework, a total of 35,985 meters were installed in 2024/Q2
representing a -68.46% decrease compared to the 114,082 MAP meter installations
recorded in 2024/Q1. Abuja (10,717), Ibadan (5,828) and Ikeja (5,732) DisCos
recorded the highest number of installations under the MAP framework during the
quarter with 29.78%, 16.20% and 15.93% of the total installations respectively.

Since October 2023, only aduna DisCo has metered customers under the NMMP
framework; 264 customers were metered in 2024/Q2. Abuja, Eko, Ibadan, Ikeja,
Jos and Port Harcourt DisCos have exhausted their meter allocations under the
NMMP phase 0 and hence have achieved a 100% utilisation rate. Benin, aduna
and Yola still have significant allocations under the NMMP which they are yet to
utilise.

A total of 12,843 customers were metered under the Vendor financed framework in
2024/Q2. Aba, Abuja, Benin and Ikeja are the only DisCos that have taken
advantage of this metering framework. During the quarter, Aba and Ikeja DisCos
installed 8,483 and 3,344 respectively, under the framework. These correspond to
+31.09% and +33.02% change respectively compared to the 6,471 and 2,514
installations in 2024/Q1. Only ano DisCo (96) recorded meter installations under
the DisCo financed framework in 2024/Q2.

4.3 Customer Complaints

In furtherance of its mandate as contained in section 119(1)(c) of the EA 2023 which

states that “the Commission shall develop in consultation with licensees, the customer
complaints handling standard and procedure”, the Commission provides various

• Vendor Finance: This is a mutual agreement between a DisCo and a Local Meter
Manufacturer/Assembler (LMMA) or Meter Asset Provider (MAP) on a deferred payment arrangement
where the base cost of meters shall not exceed the regulated price approved by the Commission.
• Self-funded by DisCos: This involves procurement of meters from other sources outside the MAP and
NMMP framework. The allowable costs of meters, accessories, installation and warranties should not
exceed the regulated pricing approval by the Commission and the terms of supply should not be in
conflict with terms of existing MAP and NMMP contracts.
• Other External Efficient Meter Financing: The Commission has also approved other external meter
financing that are efficient, cost-effective, and in tune with the terms of existing MAP and NMMP
contracts.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

channels for customers to lodge complaints against their service providers. The
primary channels available for customers to lodge complaints in the NESI are:

A. NERC Customer Complaint Unit (NERC-CCU): This is a unit at the Consumer

Affairs Division of the Commission dedicated to the receipt and resolution of
complaints received directly from customers. Customers can lodge complaints at the
NERC-CCU via emails, letters or phone calls (through the NESI Call Centre).

B. DisCo Customer Complaint Unit (DisCo-CCU): This is a department in a DisCo that

is dedicated to the receipt and resolution of complaints from customers. DisCos
submit monthly customer complaints reports which the Commission reviews to
identify cases where regulatory intervention is necessary.

C. NERC Forum Offices: Forum offices serve as the “court of second instance” for
customers not happy with the resolution of their complaints at the DisCo-CCU. The
Commission set up Forum Offices to hear and resolve customer complaints not
satisfactorily resolved at the DisCo-CCUs. As of 30th June 2024, the Commission
had thirty-two (32) operational Forum Offices in thirty (30) states and the FCT,
Abuja. The details including names, addresses and contacts of the Commission’s
Forum Offices are contained in Appendix XV.

The Forum Office is managed by the forum secretariat while the hearings are
conducted by five (5) forum panel members who are not staff of the Commission, as
stipulated in the Customer Protection Regulation (CPR) 2023. The forum panels hear
and resolve customer complaints in the state in which it is situated, if there is no
Forum Office in a state, the Commission determines which neighbouring Forum
Office will oversee customer complaints from the state. The composition of the forum
panel is as follows:

1. A legal practitioner with experience in alternative dispute resolution

nominated by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
2. A financial expert nominated by either the Manufacturers Association of
Nigeria, Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines
and Agriculture (NACCIMA) or any other reputable organisation.
3. A qualified electrical engineer nominated by either the Council for Regulation

completed.

4.3.1 NERC-CCU

In 2024/Q2, 4,469 complaints were received at the Commission’s CCU and 1,000
were resolved corresponding to a 22.38% resolution rate. Customers of Ikeja and
Eko DisCos lodged 1,704 and 1,052 complaints accounting for 38.13% and
23.54% respectively of the total complaints lodged at NERC-CCU. Conversely, Aba
Power had the lowest number of complaints with 16 (0.36%).

During the quarter, customer complaints about billing constituted 30.90% of the total
complaints. Other common issues among the 4,469 complaints received were
complaints about tariff band (24.70%), service interruption (17.92%) and metering
(17.72%). These four (4) complaints categories cumulatively accounted for 91.25%
of the total complaints in the quarter (Figure 10). The complaints on billing that were
resolved during the quarter resulted in a credit adjustment on customers' bills to the
tune of ₦134,127,040.25 (Appendices XIII and XIV).

The Commission notes the poor resolution rate (22.38%) of complaints lodged at
the NERC-CCU in 2024/Q2 and is taking steps to improve the speediness of
complaints resolution by DisCos. The complaint resolution meetings organised by
the Commission between DisCos and customers provide for “on-the-spot” resolution
of customer complaints by DisCos. If the complaints raised at the meetings cannot
be resolved on the spot, the Commission provides reasonable timelines for resolution
and has put in place a tracking mechanism to monitor DisCos’ compliance.

4.3.3 Forum Offices

The summary of the appeals received across the Forum Offices is presented in Table
19. Through 2024/Q2, there were 2,625 active appeals (905 pending appeals
from 2024/Q1 and 1,720 new appeals in 2024/Q2) across the 32 Forum Offices.
This represents a +8.07% increase compared to the 2,429 active appeals in the
previous quarter (2024/Q1). Compared to 2024/Q1, the pending appeals carried
over in the quarter (2024/Q2) increased by 129 (+16.62%) while new appeals
increased by 67 (+4.05%). The Forum Offices serving Ibadan DisCo have the
highest number of active appeals (717) while the Forum Office serving Yola DisCo
has the fewest (8) in 2024/Q2.

The total number of Forum sittings in 2024/Q2 increased by +4.17% from 72 sittings
in 2024/Q1 to 75. Cumulatively, the Forum Offices recorded a decrease of -2.65pp
in appeal resolution rate between 2024/Q1 and 2024/Q2; 57.55% vs. 54.90%.
The decrease in complaint resolution rate despite an increase in forum sitting can be
attributed to the number of active appeals during the quarter compared to
2024/Q1. The Commission will continue efforts to ensure that the forum panels sit
regularly to increase the resolution rate and reduce the number of pending appeals
carried over across quarters.

CCU to resolve effectively and reduce the number of appeals filed at the Forum
Offices.

In addition to establishing additional Forum Offices and other customer complaint

resolution channels, the Commission will continue to explore strategies to improve

“ensure the provision of safe and reliable electricity to consumers”, the Commission
monitors the health and safety performance of the NESI. Licensees are mandated to
submit monthly Health and Safety reports to the Commission in accordance with the
requirements of their licence. In 2024/Q2, out of the 99 mandatory health and
safety reports expected to be received from licensees, only 91 19 reports were
received.

The Commission will continue to enforce 100% reporting compliance by licensees

as contained in the terms and conditions of their respective licences, and apply
sanctions where applicable.

Statistics of accidents in the NESI for 2024/Q2 are presented in Table 20. Relative
to 2024/Q1, the number of accidents increased by +14.55% (55 to 63), the number
of fatalities increased by +47.83% (23 to 34) but the number of injuries decreased
by -45.16% (31 to 17).

SECOND QUARTER 2024 NERC QUARTERLY REPORTS

The Commission has initiated investigations into all reported accidents and will
enforce appropriate actions against licensees where necessary. Furthermore, the
Commission continues to closely monitor the implementation of licensees’ accident
reduction strategy for the NESI. The Commission also implements various programs
aimed at improving the health and safety performance of the NESI.

In June 2024, the biannual Health and Safety Manager’s Meeting was held with
compliance and regulatory officers of licensees to discuss the reporting obligations
of licensees as well as health and safety matters. During the meeting, licensees'
scorecards on compliance with health and safety standards, forum office decisions,
and key performance indicators were discussed while highlighting areas of
improvement. The Commission shall continue to ensure that all licensees comply with
the subsisting performance standards in the NESI.

In addition, the Commission oversees settlement processes between licensees and

families of accident victims in the NESI. This is to ensure transparency of the
settlement process and to help the victim’s family secure fair compensation for losses
suffered. In 2024/Q2, the Commission oversaw the successful conclusion of three
(3) compensation negotiations between licensees and families of victims of
accidents.
