Power distribution companies that reject electricity load due to constraints in their networks will now have to pay for the capacity charge of the rejected energy, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission said on Thursday.
On several occasions, power generation and transmission companies had complained that Discos were in the habit of rejecting electricity allocated to them for onward distribution to power users.
Also, the Minister of Power, Sale Mamman, had condemned the practice.
To address this, the NERC in its Guidelines for Implementation of Economic Merit Order Dispatch and Other Related Matters, obtained in Abuja on Thursday, stated that going forward, any Disco found wanting in this matter would have to pay.
