The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) held a public consultation on the Draft Net Billing Regulations at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, marking the final stage of an extensive nationwide stakeholder engagement process conducted in partnership with GIZ and the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP).

During the session, EMRC delivered a detailed presentation on the draft regulation, while NERC provided insights drawn from submissions received from 42 organizations and individuals across Nigeria—amounting to more than 624 distinct recommendations.

Following these presentations, stakeholders participating both in person and virtually contributed additional feedback aimed at further refining and strengthening the regulation.

This consultation concludes a process that began on 4 September 2025 with NERC’s initial call for public submissions, followed by a physical engagement in Lagos last week, and now culminating with the final session in Abuja.
