The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has introduced a draft
regulation on the Nigerian Electricity Supply and Installation
Standards.
The Chairman, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, said the commission would take
responsibility for the outcomes of the draft NESIS although it
considered the inputs of stakeholders before producing it.
Amadi spoke at a public hearing on the draft NESIS in Abuja on Monday,
and stated that the regulation would ensure effective technical
regulation for reliability and safety in the Nigerian electricity
supply industry.
"As always, we take responsibility for the final outcome. But we
depend on your (stakeholders) contributions to make sure that the
regulation is such that will achieve its purpose," he said.
Amadi promised the stakeholders that their contributions would be
incorporated into the final draft of the regulation, adding that the
public hearing was a fulfilment of NERC's mandate.
He said NERC recognised the need to develop the NESIS in order to
review, replace and repeal the CAP 106 Regulations following the
advancement in technology and the restructured power sector in the
country
The NERC boss noted that this was in line with Section 98(1) of the
Electric Sector Power Reform Act, 2005.
