NERC ORDERS COMPENSATION OVER POOR POWER SUPPLY FOR SOME BAND A CUSTOMERS The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has approved special compensation for eligible Band A customers affected by electricity shortfalls between February and March 2026. Why? Band A customers are expected to receive about 20 hours of electricity daily. However, due to generation shortages, poor gas supply and vandalism of critical gas/transmission infrastructure, some feeders failed to meet the promised service level. Instead of downgrading affected feeders, NERC says compensation will be provided. Here’s how it works: - If your Band A feeder averaged 18–20 hours supply: The existing compensation framework already in place will apply. - If your Band A feeder recorded less than 18 hours supply: Eligible customers will receive special compensation equivalent to 20% of energy costs. How will customers receive it? -Prepaid customers: Token credit -Postpaid customers: Bill adjustment/credit Important things to note: ✅ Affected Band A feeders will NOT be downgraded during the covered period. ✅ DisCos are not allowed to use compensation to offset old debts. ✅ Customers must be clearly informed about the value of compensation received. Timeline: 📌 February compensation to be completed by 31 May 2026 📌 March compensation to be completed by 30 June 2026

STRIDES UNDER NEW POWER MINISTER, MR. JOSEPH TEGBE Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has energised a new 300MVA transformer at Katampe, Abuja. This is expected to improve transmission capacity and supply reliability within the FCT and surrounding areas. Following the failure of a 100MVA transformer in Abuja, TCN and AEDC reportedly restored electricity to affected parts of the FCT within 24 hours: a response time that many consumers would consider commendable given the scale of such faults. Also, the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) under Engr. Jennifer Adighije has revived the 450MW Alaoji Power Plant after about three years of inactivity; a potentially important addition to available generation capacity if sustainably dispatched.

BIG CHANGE: YOU CAN NOW OFFICIALLY GENERATE ELECTRICITY FOR YOURSELF, USE WHAT YOU NEED, AND SELL EXCESS ELECTRICITY BACK TO THE GRID THROUGH YOUR DISCO The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has commenced the Net Billing Regulations 2026, a new framework that allows eligible electricity users to generate power mainly through solar energy for their own use and export excess electricity back to the distribution network. In simple terms, if your solar system generates more electricity than you consume, you can now send the extra power back to your DisCo and receive credits under a regulated billing arrangement. This effectively creates what the sector calls a “Prosumer” ;meaning you are both a consumer and producer of electricity. However, there are conditions. This is not yet targeted at the average small residential solar setup. To qualify: -You must already be connected to a DisCo network. -Your renewable energy system must have a minimum installed capacity of 50kWp and a maximum of 1.5MWp -You must obtain approval from your DisCo. -You must sign a Net Billing Agreement and register with NERC. Approved users will receive bidirectional meters that track: ➡️Electricity imported from the grid ⬅️Electricity exported back to the grid

THE AYEDE TRANSMISSION SUBSTATION UPGRADE Project Timeline: The Ayede Transmission Substation upgrade in Oyo State is set to be completed in line with Phase One of the Presidential Power Initiative, which aims to add 4,000 megawatts of transmission capacity across Nigeria within three years. The project is one of five priority projects under PPI Phase 1, alongside Offa, Onitsha, New Abeokuta, and Sokoto. Measurable Milestones: The project includes the replacement of a burnt 150MVA, 330/132kV transformer and the construction of a new 132kV line bay. Once completed, this intervention will increase the station's transmission wheeling capacity by 120 megawatts. Expected Impact: The upgraded substation will improve grid reliability in Oyo State and surrounding regions. Together with the other four priority projects, it will contribute to a stronger, more resilient national grid.

A MEASURABLE PROJECT WITH CLEAR TIMELINE THE NEW ABEOKUTA SUBSTATION IN OGUN STATE. Project Timeline: The New Abeokuta Substation upgrade in Ogun State is set to be completed in 2026. It is part of Phase One of the Presidential Power Initiative, which aims to add 4,000 megawatts of transmission capacity across Nigeria within three years. Measurable Milestones: The project will transform the existing 132/33kV facility into a modern 330/132/33kV substation. This upgrade is expected to unlock approximately 480 megawatts of additional transmission capacity at this single site. Complementary infrastructure includes the Olorunsogo–Ayede 330kV transmission line with a tee-off at New Abeokuta to enable efficient power evacuation. Expected Impact: Once completed, the upgraded substation will strengthen grid reliability in Ogun State and surrounding regions. It will support industrial clusters, businesses, and residential communities along the Ogun industrial corridor by ensuring that generated electricity can be transmitted efficiently to downstream customers.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE POWER SECTOR IS FELT, NOT TOLD. Maybe, just maybe… Nigeria’s electricity problem is no longer simply about “more generation.” Yes, there are genuine ongoing projects: OB3, AKK, ELPS expansion, transmission substations, SIEMENS UPGRADES, STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS etc. Nobody paying attention can honestly say nothing is happening. But we also need to stop treating “ongoing” like an achievement. In Nigeria, some projects have been “95% complete” since the time of Adam. A power project cannot be “almost ready” for 7–10 years. Every major project should have a clear completion date, public milestones and accountability if timelines fail. A few uncomfortable truths: 1. The privatisation may need revision. The DisCos likely need a mandatory recapitalisation exercise: something similar to what Soludo’s CBN did with banks. Electricity is too important for operators who cannot sufficiently invest in infrastructure, metering and network upgrades. 2. Regulation has to become enforcement. NERC and state regulators cannot continue operating mainly through statements and guidelines yet when a citizens reports an issue; it dies off somewhere,somewhere without resolution. Compliance should be proactive, measurable and enforced. 3. We should judge the sector by outcomes, not announcements. Since 2023, the messaging has largely been the same: improve electricity supply, stabilise the grid and increase delivered power. Yet reality has been mixed. 2023: Better electricity supply was promised. Some may argue that they are currently worst off in terms of supply experience. 2024: Major focus shifted to grid stability and transmission improvements. Yet grid disturbances still happened repeatedly. 2025: Nigeria recorded generation highs close to 6,000 MW: genuine progress that deserves acknowledgment. But sustained supply still remains far below meagre 5,000 MW. Now the official ambition is 8,000 MW by 2027. Possible? Yes. Achievable? Also yes. But Nigerians have heard enough projections since NEPA era. The hard questions remain: What project will be completed? By when? What exact MW will it add? And how do Nigerians measure success beyond press statements? Else, propaganda runs amok.

ON THE POWER MATTER... CURRENT SITUATION GENCOS already have installed capacity of about 14,000 MW but actual generation is only about 4,500 MW TRANSMISSION COY has capacity of 8,000 MW but actual transmission is about 4 000 MW DISCOS can only dustribute what they get but actually distribute about 3,800 MW ( this is where we all get impacted.) QUESTION..... So since we already have 14,000 MW installed; How can Nigeria generate, transmit and supply at least 10 000 MW? SOLUTION FRAMEWORK.. 1) GAS PIPELINE PROJECTS✅️ Invest heavily in SECURED Gas Pipelines and Gas to power infrastructure to GENCOS... NOTE: Govt is already doing this with the NNPC Gas pipeline projects comprising of: a) ELPS ( Escravos- Lagos Pipeline)....completed in 2011 but Expansion & UPGRADE going on to get 100% completed by August 2026 b) OB3 ( Obiafun-Obrikom-Oben) Gas Pipeline.. it is about 95% complete after successful crossing of River Niger in April 2026. The Project started under President Buhari in 2020 c) AKK (Ajokuta - Kaduna- Kano ) Gas Pipeline. It is 95% complete and first gas delivery is August 2026!! Project staryed in 2011 under GEJ The above 3 Projects will help GENCOS untilise almost full capacity and all will be vompleted in 2026!!!!! 2) CREATE STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS.✅️ Electricity Act, Done! Signed under President Tinubu. State Electricity market on going but slow ( BLAME GOVERNORS!!) Bw LAGOS STATE has progressed action to license 14 providers to commence operations in October 2026! we expect significant supply improvement in 2027. Also Abia State is moving with Geometric Power! 3) RESOLVE GENCOS and GAS SUPPLIER DEBTS FG has waged in to settle up to N3 Trillion verified debt it owes tp gencos and paid N500 billion so far. 4) MORDERNIZE DISCOS & METERING ❌️ Unfortunately DISCOS are messing up. But operational State Electricity markets can push in competition like Lagos is starting 5) ENCOURAGE CAPTIVE and EMBEDDED GENERATION OUTSIDE NATIONAL GRID On going but slow. State Electricity Markets are expected to push this 6) EXPAND TRANSMISION CAPACITY TO through REGIONAL DECENTRALISATION CONCLUSION👇👇👇 Based on the above current situation and on-going projects, before anyone begins to claim to deliver 10,000 MW...what exactly is the person referring to? Cos on-going projects are looking good to deliver it by 2027!!! and that is what Bismark Rewane reffered to during his interview 2 days ago. Like I keep saying....YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE GUARD OF A MOVING TRAIN....President Tinubu shpuld be allowed to complete... the work he has begun, the previous ongoing projects he continued to fund.... ✅️✅️✅️✅️

National Grid Peak Generation Yesterday - 4,756.90 MW
(*^^*)@jfleshcrown

@NationalGridNg Since you feel he's wrong, can you tell the public the actual MW Nigeria is currently generating, or everything should be seen as politics even when you have the opportunity to tell the public the actual truth?

14,000 MW ????
PROF GANUCCI BLACKKING (Primus interpares )🤣🤣 ⚓⚓@ERINFOLAMI2024

Some of una too mumu... Nigeria is correctly generating 14000MW. Generation and distribution are not the problem of Nigeria power sector but Transmission.... Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently doing a fantastic job with the with Siemens on the expansion of our grid capacity to 25,000MW. Someone promising generating 10,000MW doesn't cut it, because we already generating more than that. It is very stupid for someone to be promising 10,000MW when we are already generating over that. Your principal doesn't know the problem with this sector. If he likes let him generate 100,000MW, if we can't transmit it, it will all be wasted.
