The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission will on April 3, 2018 commence the enforcement of its recently unveiled Meter Asset Provider Regulations, 2018, a policy that seeks to bridge the widening metering gap in the electricity supply industry.
It was gathered that the country’s metering gap had increased to about 4.74 million, as power consumers welcomed the new policy, describing it as a panacea for meter unavailability.
In its MAPR 2018, with Regulation No. NERC-R-112, which was released by the regulator and obtained by our correspondent on Wednesday, NERC said, “These regulations shall come into effect on the 8th day of March, 2018.
“The provisions of these regulations shall be enforced by the commission from the 3rd day of April, 2018.”
