The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has granted a ‘No Objection’ to some firms to take over the distribution of meter from the 11 Distribution Companies (DisCos).
“This is to ensure that all electricity customers are metered thereby reducing incidences of estimated electricity billing to the barest minimum,” a statement available on NERC social media platforms said. According to the General Manager, Public Affairs, Usman Abba-Arabi, the ‘No Objection’ qualifies intending investors to participate in the meter procurement process in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
Among the approved firms are Huawei Technology Company Nigeria Ltd, Bilview Energy Ltd, Chintech Electro Nigeria Ltd, Holley Metering Ltd, MEMCOL, and Meron Nigeria Ltd. Others include Integrated Power, MBH Power, Trimani Engineering, Sapropel Energy Resources, Megawatt Distribution International, Unistar Hi-Tech Systems, Imperial Infrastructure Development Company, Ratio Consulting, Protogy Global Services, Paktim Metering, Sabrud Consortium, Tinuten, Kayz Consortium, BTS Power, CIG Metering Assets, and Cresthill Energy.
