In a significant development, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has granted the Imo State Electricity Regulatory Commission (ISERC) regulatory control over the electricity market in Imo State, effective July 1, 2024.
This decision is in line with the provisions of the Electricity Act 2023, which allows states to take ownership of their electricity markets.
NERC Chairman Sanusi Garba signed the order, following a request from the Imo State government.
