The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC has issued permits to Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company and Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Meter Asset Providers, MAPs, in accordance with section four of the MAP regulations of 2018.
The General Manager, Public Affairs of NERC, Usman Arabi in a statement said the MAPs were successful in the procurement conducted by   Kaduna and Eko DISCOS.
Arabi said MAP regulation of 2018, required all electricity distribution licensees to engage MAPs that would assist as investors, in closing the metering gap and thus eliminate the practice of  estimated billing in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry.
According to Arabi, Kaduna DISCO has appointed  four private companies, while Eko DISCO also appointed seven companies to provide meters within its franchise under MAP.
The NERC spokesperson said the  commission  shall monitor  the  roll-out  plan   of  distribution  licensees   and  overall compliance with  the regulations and various  service agreements by  the  MAP and  electricity distribution licensees.
