The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has announced a public hearing to address the recurrent national grid failures disrupting electricity supply across Nigeria.
The hearing is set for Thursday, October 24, 2024, in Abuja and will focus on identifying and resolving key issues within the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
This initiative aims to bring stakeholders together to discuss potential solutions to the ongoing power supply challenges affecting the nation.
The commission expressed concern over the escalating incidence of disturbances at the national grid, which NERC said has resulted in significant power outages and reversed recent progress made in reducing infrastructure deficits and improving grid stability.
“The Commission has noted with concern the recent escalating incidence of grid disturbances often leading to marked outage in several states thus reversing many of the gains recently achieved in reducing infrastructure deficit and improving grid stability.
