Nigeria’s electricity distribution companies (DisCos) are now subject to new technical, commercial, and reporting requirements issued by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). These obligations stem from the newly introduced Net Billing Regulations 2026, aimed at facilitating greater integration of renewable energy sources into the national grid. The regulations specifically target consumers utilizing solar power and other renewable energy installations. DisCos will need to adapt their operations to accommodate the influx of energy generated by these private renewable systems. The changes are expected to impact how electricity is measured, billed, and reported across the country. NERC intends for these regulations to encourage investment in renewable energy and improve overall grid stability. Further details regarding the specific obligations are outlined in the full Net Billing Regulations 2026 document.
