NERC Pledges To Boost Power Supply
The Nigeria Electric
ity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has declared that electricity generation nationwide would hit 12,000 mega watts before the end of 2015.
The chairman NERC, Dr Sam Amadi disclosed this in Owerri at a town hall meeting.
Amadi said that this would be made possible as the commission had issued licence to private power plant operators for generation.
He appealed for understanding from Nigerians, emphasising that the power sector had suffered decades of neglect.
Amadi said that the NERC had directed consumers not to pay any service charge to the distribution companies any time power was not supplied for two weeks.
