STATE OF
THE
INDUSTRY

The Partial
Activation of
Contract
regime took
effect in July
2022.

In 2022, the
average capacity
utilisation rate
was 86.05%.

Operational Performance: Pursuant to the regulatory
authority vested on the Commission in the EPSRA 2004, the
Commission continued overseeing the operational
performance of the NESI. The summary of the NESI’s
operational performance for 2022 is provided below.

Available Capacity and Generation: In 2022, the average
daily available capacity of the twenty-seven (27) active power
plants was 4,526.83MW while the average daily generation
was 3,988MWh/h. Compared to 2021, the available
capacity decreased by 727.20MW (-13.84%) and the
average daily generation also decreased by 209MWh/h (-
4.98%). The industry recorded its highest daily generation of
4,598.05MWh/h on 12th February 2022.

The average utilisation of available generation capacity
across all power plants increased from 79.92% in 2021 to
86.05% in 2022 (+6.13pp). The improved utilisation was due
to the effect of the Partial Activation of Contract (PAC) regime
which began in July 2022 and has improved licensees’
commitment to energy delivery and offtake within respective
Partially Contracted Capacity (PCC). The PAC regime
activation is one of the Commisison’s initiatives to fast track
NESI maturity, improve market discipline, encourage
investment for improvement, and achieve adequate electricity
supply.

Building on the escrow arrangement put in place by the
Commission in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria

Commission in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) for improvement
players on behalf of the DisCos in the sector, the Commission

in July 2022. The Commission continues its surveillance on the
challenges in NESI with respect to gas supply and is committed
to engaging relevant stakeholders to develop lasting solutions
to this problem.

## Executive Summary NERC Annual Report 2022

## to completely resolve the technical, operational and

## commercial challenges in the NESI. Pursuant to this effort, the

## Commission has finalised the review the Performance

## Improvement Plans (PIP) filed by the DisCos for relevant and

## qualified projects. The PIPs were prepared in line with the

## guidelines provided by the Commission, to cover the period

## 2021–2025 and have an overall objective of ensuring that

## utilities invest in projects critical to addressing their technical,

## operational and commercial constraints.

## National Grid Stability: A summary of the system stability

## performance of the national grid between 2018 and 2022 is

## contained in Table 2.2. The table shows that there was a

## decline in the stability of the grid network in 2022 as the

## number of total system collapses (i.e., total blackouts

## nationwide) increased relative to the preceding year.

## This decline in grid reliability in 2022 is further proven by the

## fact that the range of 1.73Hz between the average maximum

## and average minimum grid frequency in 2022 is higher than

## 1.41Hz which was recorded in 2021.

Regulations: Although no new regulation was issued in 2022,
the Commission initiated the review of Mini-grid Regulation
20 through consultations and stakeholders’ engagements.
The Commission also continued with monitoring compliance to
the provisions of existing Regulations, Standards and other
industry rules governing the NESI.

The Commission
conducted town

with electricity
consumers in
Abuja, Benin,
Eko, Ibadan,
Kano, Katsina,
Owerri, and
Sokoto in 2022.

Consumer Education and Enlightenment: To ensure
continuous education of customers on their rights and
obligations, as well as on other general service delivery
matters in the industry, the Commission monitored all the
customer enlightenment programs and activities of the DisCos
in 2022 relative to their proposed plans for the year. On its
part, the Commission conducted eight (8) town hall meetings
with electricity consumers in Abuja, Benin, Eko, Ibadan, Kano,
Katsina, Owerri, and Sokoto during the year. This is in
addition to radio programs aired across twelve (12) states
and the FCT to address key issues in the NESI through live
discussions and pre-recordings. In the effort to educate the
younger generation on the activities of the NESI, the
Commission held the 2022 edition of the Annual Electricity
Essay Competition for secondary school students across the
country and winners were awarded prizes.

In 2022,
additional
589,997 enduse customer
meters were
installed.

Metering: In 2022, additional 589,997 end-use customer
meters were installed. This is significantly lower than the
836,702 meters installed in 2021 (-29.49%). The recorded
decline in metering in 2022 was because of the winding down
of the NMMP phase 0. As at 31 December 2022, only
5,134,871 out of the 12,152,106 registered end-use
customers in the NESI (42.45%) were metered; as explained
above, the resultant huge metering gap remains a key
challenge for the financial sustainability of the NESI.

The metering rate (percentage of metered customers) of the
11 DisCos is contained in Figure 2.3. The data indicates that
between 2021 and 2022, eight (8) DisCos recorded increases
in their metering rate with Abuja (15pp), Benin (13pp), and
Ikeja (10pp) recording the most significant increases.
Conversely, Kano DisCo recorded a decrease of -1pp in its
metering rate.

* * *

As a safeguard against overbilling of unmetered customers,
the Commission has set maximum limits to the amount of
energy (in kWh) that may be estimated for an unmetered
customer on a particular feeder, depending on the customer
category and tariff band. The maximum limits are computed
each month based on three-month data of actual consumption
records of metered customers according to customer class and
tariff band.

The Commission continues to monitor the deployment of enduse energy meters for customers. It is also working with the
CBN, World Bank and other relevant stakeholders on NMMP
to accelerate the financial close and funds disbursement for
the next round (Phase 1).

## 3.1. The Commission

## 3.1.1. Background to the Creation of the Commission

## Prior to the year 2000, the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) faced

## several challenges inhibiting the efficient delivery of electricity to Nigerians.

## These included poor infrastructure, high technical and commercial losses, low

## power generation capacity, inadequate transmission and distribution facilities,

## non-cost reflective tariffs etc.

## This state of the industry led to the decision by the Federal Government to

## embark on power sector reforms in the NESI. The reforms aimed to liberate the

## power sector from the lingering problems and to attract private-sector

## investments. The Federal Government in March 2001 released the Nigerian

## Electric Power Policy (NEPP) which was subsequently adopted in 2002 and

## marked the beginning of the power sector reforms in Nigeria.

## A critical milestone in the transformation of the power sector reform was the

## enactment of the Electric Power Sector Reform Act (EPSRA) in 2004. The EPSRA

## gave legal authority and support to the reforms and repealed previous

## legislation on the power sector. The National Electric Power Authority (NEPA)

## transitioned to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) which was

## subsequently unbundled into 18 separate companies consisting of six (6)

## Generation, one (1) Transmission and eleven (11) Distribution companies.

## Section (31) of the EPSRA furthermore provided for the establishment of the

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC or the Commission). The

**st** **Commission, which was officially inaugurated on the 31 of October 2005 with** **its headquarters in Abuja, serves as an independent regulatory body to drive** **the power sector reform by ensuring fairness, transparency and a level playing** **field for all stakeholders.**

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

4.1. Operational Performance

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in line with the
mandate derived from the Electric Power Sector Reform Act (EPSRA) monitors
the technical and operational performance of the Nigerian Electricity Supply
Industry (NESI). This is to ensure that the Commission’s decision-making process
is data-driven leading to the implementation of interventions that seek to
optimise service delivery to customers.

4.1.1. Electricity Generation

In 2022, the average daily available generation capacity of all grid-connected
plants was 4,526.83MW. The average daily available capacity decreased by
727.20MW (-13.84%) from 5,254.03MW in 2021 to 4,526.83MW in 2022.
Figure 4.1 summarises the average daily available capacity in 2021 and 2022.
The available generation capacity in 2022 was notably lower than in 2021,
except in the month of April. In 2022, generation capacity fell below 4,500MW
(the lowest point in 2021) during the following four months: May, June,
September, and October.

Between April and June 2022, the four (4) hydro power plants; Kainji, Jebba,
Shiroro and Dadin Kowa also experienced decreases in available capacity due
to low water head and water management. This was due to seasonal variations
occasioned by the commencement of the rainy season in Nigeria.

* * *

Figure 4.1: Average Daily Available Capacity in 2021 and 2022

Figure 4.2 presents a summary of the average daily electricity generation for
each month in 2021 and 2022. On the 12th February 2022, the national grid
recorded its highest average hourly generation of 4,598.05MWh/h.

The average daily energy generated in 2022 declined by 209MWh/h (-
4.98%) from 4,197MWh/h in 2021 to 3,988MWh/h. This can be attributed

* * *

## State of the Industry NERC Annual Report 2022

## to the reduction in available capacity in 2022 compared to 2021 although it is

## noteworthy that the scale in reduction of generation was significantly lower than

## reduction in available generation, caused by increased utilisation of available

## capacity. Creating an incentive for the relevant licensees to work towards the

## complete resolution of the technical and operational challenges in the NESI

## remains a top priority of the Commission.

## As explained in each of the 2022 quarterly reports, the lack of liquidity and

## payment assurance for upstream players especially Gas suppliers has been a

## major contributory factor to the decline in available generation. Liquidity

## challenges also lead to delays or total lack of routine maintenance of machines

## which cause unscheduled outages.

## Since 2020, as part of the efforts to improve payment assurance to upstream

## players in the sector, the Commission in partnership with the Central Bank of

## Nigeria (CBN) has implemented an escrow arrangement which provides

## visibility into the collection performance of the DisCos with payments being

## made on their behalf to the upstream players.

## The Commission continued the execution of several actionable items identified

## in its Strategic Plan 2021-2023 to resolve the technical and operational

## challenges in the NESI. Pursuant to this, the Commission finalised the review

## and communicated its decisions on the Performance Improvement Plans (PIP)

**1** **filed by the DisCos to ensure the execution of projects critical to improving** **their operational and technical performances. The PIPs review focused on the:**

I. **Utilisation of capital and operating expenditure allowances for** **relevance and cost-efficiency.** **1** **The PIPs cover the period 2021-2025 and prepared with the guidelines provided by the Commission** **with an overall objective to ensure that utilities invest in projects critical to addressing the technical and** **operational constraints affecting their operational efficiency.**

II. **Investments required to address distribution network bottlenecks and free** **up part of the unutilised generation capacities and address other related** **constraints inhibiting the flow of energy.**

## 4.1.2. Load Factor and Average Generation of Power Plants

## The Load Factor is a measure of the utilisation of a power plant's capacity,

## calculated as the ratio of the average electricity generated to the maximum

## possible generation over the period, based on the available capacity. A higher

## load factor results in better capacity utilisation, reducing the cost per unit of

## energy and increasing profitability, as fixed costs are spread over a larger

## amount of dispatched energy. The Load Factor reflects both demand for energy

## and a plant's ability to supply it. The formula for Load Factor is represented by

## equation 4.1:

**Tota Ener y enerated ( h)** **Load actor = ( . )** **era e ai a e Ca acity (**)× hrs× eriod (in days)

## The average load factor across all grid-connected power plants in 2022 was

## 86.05%, indicating that 13.95% of available capacity was not utilised. The

## load factor in 2022 (86.05%) represents an increase of 10.03pp from the

## 76.02% recorded in 2021. The increase in load factor during the year despite

## a decrease in total energy generated relative to 2021 indicates there was an

## improvement in load offtake by DisCos. Figure 4.3. shows the load factors of

## the seven (7) top performing power plants in 2021 and 2022.

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

* * *

Figure 4.3: Average Plant Load Factor (%) in 2021 and 2022

Eleven (11) power-plants had over 90% of energy generated being evacuated
by the TSP in 2022 with Omoku (99.03%), Jebba (98.44%), and Kainji
(98.09%), being the best performers in this metric. The hydro plants had an
average dispatch rate of 96.02%; Jebba (98.44%), Kainji (98.09%), Dadin
Kowa (97.93%), and Shiroro (89.63%). The dispatch rate of these hydro
plants complies with the Commission’s rder NERC/182/2019, declaring
hydro ower ants as “must-run” y the S . This is to ensure that the hydro
plants are efficiently dispatched given their low tariffs. Relative to 2021, all
power plants with the exception of Ibom (-16.05pp) recorded improvements in
load factor, with Jebba having the highest increase (+13.48pp).

generated. Egbin accounted for the highest share of 10.87% (15.04% share
of energy generated in 2021), followed by Azura which accounted for 9.89%
(8.85% share of energy generated in 2021) energy share. Delta GS, Kainji,
Shiroro and Jebba were other top contributors to energy generated in 2022.
Conversely, Dadin Kowa, being the grid connected plant with the lowest
capacity (40MW), accounted for the lowest share of output contributing 0.67%
of the total energy generated within the year.

Figure 4.4: Average Share (%) of Generation Output by Plants in 2022

The share of generation output contained in Figure 4.4 indicates NESI overreliance on some power plants. The Commission has commenced the phased
activation of contracted capacity effective 1st July 2022 to promote incremental
growth in generation availability and utilisation of other plants especially those
that have significant installed capacities that have not been utilised in prior
years.

* * *

4.1.4. Generation Mix

The electricity generation mix refers to the combination of fuels used to
generate electricity over a period of time. The composition of the generation
mix varies across countries and is influenced by factors such as natural resource
availability, government policies, environmental considerations, type of power
plants, energy demand, and seasonal variations. An ideal energy mix must
balance the three key objectives of the energy trilemma: energy affordability,
environmental sustainability, and energy security. The formula for electricity
generation by fuel sources is given by equation 4.2:

\\boxed{\\begin array}{rarray{l}{\ }}&\\{{}&{\\mathsf{S h a r e ~~o f~~ f u e l\_= ~~}\\frac{\\mathsf{T o l l~~}\\mathsf{E l e c t i c l y ~~}\\mathsf{G e n e r a t e d~~}\\mathsf{f r o m ~~F}e l l,(\\mathsf{N W h})}{\\mathsf{T o t a l~~}\\mathsf{E l e c t i i l y ~~}\\mathsf{G e n e r o t e d~~}\\mathsf{f r o m ~~a l l~~}\\mathsf{F u e l ~~}\\mathsf{S o u r c e s~~}(\\mathsf{M W h})}}\\end{array}

( . )

The share of electricity generation by energy sources for 2021 and 2022 is
presented in Figure 4.5. The share of electricity generated from hydropower
plants in 2022 was 26.70% representing an increase of 3.88pp from 22.82%
in 2021. The country’s current ener y mix means that seasona ariation in
water volume and security of gas supply both constitute high-risk factors for
electricity supply. While both hydro and thermal (gas) plants being used on the
grid are relatively clean sources from an emissions perspective, the Commission
remains committed to monitoring the generation mix in furtherance of the
o ernment’s c imate chan e miti ation commitments.

## 4.1.5. Grid Performance

## The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) which has the responsibility of

## wheeling energy from power plants to DisCos holds two licensees; Transmission

## Service Provider (TSP) and System Operator (SO). The TSP owns and maintains

## the transmission infrastructure while the SO is responsible for maintaining

## system stability, load balance and load dispatch. To assess the performance of

## the grid, the Commission focuses on four (4) key performance indicators (KPI)

## that relate to power transmission. These are;

- **Transmission loss factor**
- **Stability of grid frequency**
- **Voltage fluctuation**
- **Incidence of system collapse**

## 4.1.5.1. Transmission Loss Factor

## Transmission Loss Factor (TLF) refers to the proportion of energy lost during the

## transmission of power from GenCos to the DisCos. The TLF has an inverse

## relationship with system efficiency which means that a decline in the TLF

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

* * *

## State of the Industry NERC Annual Report 2022

## indicates an improvement in transmission efficiency. The formula for TLF is

## represented by equation 4.3:

**Ener y de i ered to a isCos + Ener y Ex orted** **TL = (** −) **× ( . )** **Ener y Sent out y a enCos**

## As illustrated in Figure 4.6, the average TLF in 2022 was 7.87%; a 7.87% TLF

## implies that for every 100 MWh of energy injected into the grid from the

## generation stations in 2022, 7.87MWh of the energy was dissipated in transit

## as transmission loss and utilised to power the transmission substations. This is

## 0.37pp higher than the allowed Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) reference loss

## factor of 7.50% which became effective in January 2022.

## Since TLF is supposed to cover efficient losses for which customers are meant to

## pay, the Commission has an obligation to review TLF targets to reflect the

## maturity in the NESI taking into account investments made by the TSP. In view

## o considera e im ro ements recorded in TCN’s o erationa e iciency with an

## average TLF of 7.68% and 7.29% in 2019 and 2020 respectively, as against

## the 8.05% TLF provided in transmission tariff since 2012, the Commission

## reviewed the efficiency target for TCN in 2021 and set TLF reduction trajectory

## for the next five (5) years to encourage the TCN towards better operational

## efficiency as shown in Table 4.1

## 4.1.5.2. Grid Frequency

## Frequency is a major power quality parameter that consumers (especially

## industrial customers) are concerned about because of the sensitivity of their

## machines to frequency fluctuation. Most industrial production assembly lines

## have machines that are frequency sensitive and would not operate outside the

## pre-set frequency tolerance limits. As specified in the Grid Code, the system

## frequency under normal circumstances is expected to be between a lower limit

## of 49.75Hz and an upper limit of 50.25Hz (allowance of +/- 0.5%) but may

## reach an upper bound stress limit of 51.25Hz and a lower bound stress limit of

## 48.75Hz in extreme circumstances (allowance of +/- 2.5%).

## A summary of the system frequency performance in 2021 and 2022 is

## presented in Figure 4.7. The average highest and lowest daily system frequency

## readings in 2022 were 50.72Hz and 48.99Hz with a range of 1.73Hz.

## Comparatively, in 2021, the average highest and lowest daily system

## frequency readings were 50.71Hz and 49.30Hz with a range of 1.41Hz.

## Based on this, it can be deduced that the grid operated with more stability in

2021 than 2022 - the lower the deviation from the specified range, the better
the frequency performance.

In 2022, the upper and lower bounds of the system frequency were all outside
the normal operation limits but within the stress limits except in July and August
(when the lower bounds exceeded the limits). It is clear that the SO struggled
more with managing the lower bound frequency of the system which is an
indication that demand often outstripped supply. This is consistent with the
reduction in available generation which was experienced in 2022 (discussed
earlier). The S ’s ac o systems to rant it real-time visibility of the network
e.g., Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a major causal
factor leading to poor frequency management in the NESI.

Figure 4.7: Average System Frequency (Hz) in 2021 and 2022

To guarantee high-quality power, the Grid Code specifies a nominal system
voltage of 330kV with a tolerance range of +/- 5% (313.5kV to 346.5kV).
Fluctuations in grid voltage, including spikes, dips, flickers, brownouts, and
blackouts, can cause significant harm to consumers and result in substantial

4.1.5.3. Voltage Fluctuation commercial losses. Extreme cases of voltage fluctuations, particularly at the
distribution network level, can cause severe damage to industrial machines
thereby compelling industrial customers to seek alternative sources of power
generation.

The system voltage performance for 2021 and 2022 is shown in Figure 4.8.
The average upper and lower operating voltage bounds for the network in
2022 were 352.74kV and 298.97kV respectively with a range of 53.77kV.
Both values are outside the respective specified limits which indicates that the
voltage performance in 2022 did not meet the expected levels. Comparatively,
in 2021, the average upper and lower operating voltage bounds for the
network were 351.61kV and 297.87kV respectively with a range of 53.74kV.

Figure 4.8: System Voltage (kV) in 2021 and 2022

The lower range in 2021 indicates that overall system voltage performance in
2021 was better than 2022. This is consistent with the findings on system
frequency performance as discussed above and highlights the importance of
renewed efforts by the SO/TSP to improve the overall technical performance
of the NESI.

## State of the Industry NERC Annual Report 2022

## 4.1.5.4. System Collapse

## The national power grid, a network of electrical transmission lines connecting

## generating stations to loads over the entire country, is designed to operate

## within certain stability limits in terms of voltage (330kV±5%) and frequency

## (50Hz±0.5%). Any deviation from these stability ranges can result in decreased

## power quality and, in severe cases, cause widespread power outages. This can

## range from a partial collapse of a section of the grid to a full system-wide

**blackout.**

## The SO is responsible for ensuring that the frequency remains within a ±0.5%

## tolerance threshold. When there is a significant deviation between demand and

## supply on the grid, this can cause grid parameters to move outside of their

## stability ranges indicated above thereby creating the risk of a collapse. This

## usually occurs when demand is greater than supply, thereby causing the grid

## frequency to drop outside safe operational range which causes the most

## sensitive plants to shut down automatically. These shutdowns further exacerbate

## the frequency imbalance and can lead to a full or partial system collapse. On

## the other hand, if supply surpasses demand, the frequency increases, and in

## severe cases, some power plants may shut down, causing a sudden drop in

**generation.**

## The frequency trend throughout the year 2022 showed that the grid was

## operating close to extreme stress frequencies, making it susceptible to

## significant disruptions. Table 4.2 shows the total grid incidents from 2018 to

## 2022; the total number of grid incidents increased from four (4) in 2021 to six

The year 2022 marked the first year of the last 5 in which the system recorded
an increase in collapses. The Commission has intensified efforts to compel TCN
to deliver improvements in grid stability and prevent recurrent system collapses.
Further to this, the Commission has also continued the strict monitoring of
enCos’ com iance with the S ’s directi es to enerators on ree o ernor
and frequency control mode in line with the provisions of the subsisting
operating codes in the industry.

Over the course of the year, the Commission called for meetings between TCN
and DisCos focused on the enforcement of under frequency load-shedding
scheme instituted to provide an added layer of security for the grid in case of
a sudden loss of generation. Furthermore, the Commission gave directives to
TCN to undertake a review of the calibration of relay settings across the
network to improve the grid stability.

4.2. Commercial Performance

• Energy offtake performance

The commercial performance of the NESI is a measure of the flow of funds from
customers to upstream electricity industry players. The financial performance is
critical because funds are required to keep all the players along the value chain
operational. In evaluating the commercial performance of the NESI in 2022,
the following parameters have been considered:

• Energy billed and billing efficiency

• Revenue and collection efficiency

* * *

## State of the Industry NERC Annual Report 2022

- **Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) loss**
- **Remittances to the Market Operator (MO) and the Nigerian Bulk** **Electricity Trading Company (NBET).**

## 4.2.1. Energy offtake performance

## The amount of energy received by DisCos at their trading points in 2022 was

## 28,351.62GWh, a decrease of 2,142.48GWh (-7.03%) from the

## 30,494.10GWh recorded in 2021. This decrease is partly attributable to the

## 4.98% decrease in the total energy generated and the increase in TLF

## (+0.43pp) in 2022 relative to 2021. Shortfall not attributable to either of these

## 2 factors was caused by increased energy offtake by bilateral customers (local

## and/or international) connected to the grid.

**st** **For the 1 half of the year, the share of available generation on the national** **grid that was allocated to each DisCo was based on the share of the energy** **contracted with NBET as contained in the vesting contracts signed upon** **privatisation in 2013. The allocation under the framework for each DisCo is** **referred to as the Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) load allocation. Effective July** **1, 2022, the NESI transitioned into the Partial Activation of Contract (PAC)** **regime which enabled the DisCos to determine their unconstrained power** **requirements in absolute MW known as their Partially Contracted Capacity** **(PCC) that replaced the MYTO load allocation.**

## The PAC set out a framework to enable GenCos to earn capacity payments i.e.,

## payments for making an agreed generation capacity available irrespective of

**whether it is dispatched by the SO or not. This is in line with international best** **practices in power procurement contracts and it increases the predictability of** **revenue flows for the GenCos, thus allowing for critical routine maintenance** **activities to improve the availability of their plants.**

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

## State of the Industry NERC Annual Report 2022

## The PAC regime reinforces the DisCos capacity payment scheme which took

## effect on 1st January 2020 and acts as a deterrent against discretionary non-

## offtake of load. To further improve contract discipline along the upstream

## segment of the NESI, the PAC regime provided for Liquidated Damages (LD)

**to be paid by GenCos or TCN to the DisCos in situations where the DisCo does** **not receive the contracted capacity due to challenges at the generation and/or** **transmission sub-segments. In July 2022, updated Service Level Agreements** **(SLA) were signed between DisCos and TCN to further institutionalise the** **com ensation mechanism or isCos when TCN’s imitations re ent them rom** **getting their contracted energy.**

**Each isCo’s oad o ta e er ormance ( s. MYTO allocation – H1 2022) and** **(vs. PCC – H2 2022) is presented in Table 4.3. Relative to H1 2022, there** **were increases both in available generation (partly attributable to the** **introduction of the PCC) as well as energy offtake by the DisCos. The isCos’** **offtake performance increased in H2 (-1.47%) relative to H1 (-13.03%). This** **improvement can be partly attributed to the introduction of the PAC regime** **which put a penalty against DisCos when they do not offtake their pro-rated** **PCC.**

## In H1 2022, only Abuja DisCo (0.43%) recorded positive variance on its load

## offtake compared to its MYTO allocations. In H2 2022, five (5) DisCos

## recorded positive variance in their offtake compared to the PCC (i.e., the DisCo

## took more energy than their allocation) with Eko (12.11%) and Abuja

## (11.78%), recording the most significant positive variances. The Commission

## has approved Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) for DisCos and has set up

## a monitoring process to review the implementation of the constituent projects.

As explained in the quarterly reports, inadequate gas supply continues to be a
major challenge for the NESI as it limits available generation. In an effort to
address this problem, the Commission also introduced the Gas Supply
Stabilisation Fund (GSSF) in July 2022 to provide payment assurance to gas
suppliers and increase the quantity of gas supplied to the GenCos. The GSSF
is a revolving fund (seed funding was obtained from legacy FGN debt
obligations to the DisCos) which is used to settle gas invoices at source i.e., the
Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN) compiles and sends all gas-topower invoices to NBET for payment at source. Once NBET receives the market
remittance for the next month, the GSSF is refunded wholly with the balance
being used to settle the GenCo invoices2.

The amount paid to the GSSF is netted-o the enCo’s in oice to N ET.

## 4.2.2. Energy Billed and Billing Efficiency

## Billing efficiency is the ratio of the proportion of energy that has been billed

## (both billing-post-paid customers and vending-prepaid customers) to customers

## in comparison to the total energy supplied to an area within a given period.

## The formula for billing efficiency is represented by equation 4.4:

**Tota nits i ed ( h)** **i in E iciency ( ) = × ( . )** **Tota Ener y ecei ed y the Networ ( h)**

## The amount of energy received, billed and billing efficiency by DisCos in 2021

## and 2022 are presented in Table 4.4. Out of the 28,351.62GWh total energy

## received by all DisCos in 2022, 21,770.79GWh was billed to the end-users,

## resulting in a billing efficiency of 76.79%. This is a 0.22pp increase from the

## billing efficiency in 2021 (76.57%). Billing Efficiency covers the technical and

## commercial loss components in the Aggregate, Technical, Commercial and

## Collection (ATC&C) loss. This implies that there was very marginal improvement

## (0.22pp) in technical and commercial loss that was recorded in 2022 (23.21%)

## relative to 2021 (23.43%). Some of the major factors that contribute to billing

## losses include:

- **Poor customer enumeration: this is the inability of DisCos to identify all** **electricity consumers**
- **Inaccurate meters/outdated meters: this is the inability of DisCos to** **accurately measure the electricity consumed by end users due to the** **unavailability of meters or the use of obsolete meters at user sites.**
- **Energy theft: this is the deliberate action by some electricity consumers** **to consume electricity without making payments**
- **Technical loss: this is the energy loss to wires and transformers (technical** **losses) which a so contri utes to isCos’ i in inefficiency and this is**

particularly relevant for areas of the network with substandard or aged
infrastructure.

The billing efficiency performance of all DisCos contained in Table 4.4 shows that
Eko and Ikeja had the highest billing efficiencies with 89.15% and 88.51%
respectively for 2022. Conversely, Yola recorded the lowest billing efficiency
of 56.79%, indicating that Yola DisCo lost 43.21% of the energy received to
technical and commercial inefficiencies in 2022. In addition to those factors
identified as causes of low billing efficiency in the industry, the state of insecurity
within the franchise areas of Yola DisCo has contributed to the low operational
performance of the utility.

In 2022, relative to 2021, all DisCos with the exception of Kaduna, Kano, Ikeja
and Enugu recorded an improvement in their billing efficiency. The highest
increase was recorded by Yola and Jos DisCos with +10.23pp and +5.83pp
respectively. Kaduna DisCo recorded the most significant loss of -12.08pp in
billing efficiency (76.03% in 2021 compared to 63.95% in 2022).

## 4.2.3. Revenue and Collection Efficiency

## Collection efficiency is the ratio of the amount that is collected from customers

## compared to the amount billed to them by the DisCos. For various reasons,

## many customers continue to default in payment of their billed amounts resulting

## in collection losses. The formula for collection efficiency is represented by

## equation 4.5:

**e enue Co ected** **Co ection E iciency ( ) = × ( . )** **i ed mount**

## The total revenue collected by the DisCos from customers in 2022 was ₦841.81

## billion out of the total bill of ₦1,185.31 billion to customers, leaving an

## outstanding balance of ₦343.50 billion. This translates to a collection efficiency

## of 71.02% which implies that for every ₦100.00 worth of energy billed to

## customers by DisCos in 2022, approximately ₦28.98 was not recovered from

## customers. The low collection efficiency combined with billing inefficiency has

continued to adversely impact the financial liquidity of the industry, ultimately
limiting the NESI’s a i ity to row and attract in estment.

In 2022, only Ikeja had a collection efficiency above 90% which can be partly
attributable to the fact that it leads the DisCos in terms of overall metering rate
(58.82%) as at the end of 2022. This was followed by Eko and Abuja DisCos
with collection efficiencies of 84.45% and 82.87% respectively while Kaduna
DisCo had the lowest collection efficiency of 39.25%.

As shown in Table 4.5 the overall collection efficiency for all DisCos in 2022
was 71.02% representing an increment of 1.60pp from 69.42% reported in
2021\. On the DisCo-by-DisCo level, Ikeja, Kaduna, Ibadan, Port Harcourt,
Benin, Yola and Eko DisCos recorded improvements in collection efficiency
between 2021 and 2022 with Ikeja having the highest increase of +6.83pp
(85.44% in 2021 vs 92.27% in 2022). Conversely, four (4) DisCos recorded
reductions in their collection efficiency performance in 2022 relative to 2021
with Jos DisCo having the most significant reduction of -8.13pp (50.29% in
2021 vs 42.15% in 2022).

## State of the Industry NERC Annual Report 2022

## 4.2.4. Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) Loss

## The Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) loss is a

## summation of billing losses incurred by the DisCo due to its inability to bill 100%

## of delivered energy to consumers (technical and commercial losses) and the

## collection losses arising from the isCo’s ina i ity to co ect o the

## invoices issued out to consumers. The ATC&C loss is a critical performance

## parameter for tariff determination because it represents the efficient losses

## which the DisCos are allowed to recover from customers. The tariff orders

## issued to DisCos make allowance for specific ATC&C loss level targets for each

## DisCo. Just as the case of TLF explained earlier, the Commission has the

## responsibility of constantly reviewing the allowed ATC&C for each DisCo to

## reflect the maturity of the market and investments being made by the DisCo.

## The ATC&C loss comprises the following components:

## a. Technical Loss: heat loss due to load flow in electrical lines and

## transformation loss in transformers.

## b. Commercial Loss: due to discrepancy in meter reading, erroneous billing,

## unmetered consumption, or energy theft;

## c. Collection Loss: unpaid bills.

## The formula for ATC&C loss is represented by equation 4.6:

**TC&C Loss = \[** − ( i in E iciency × Co ection E iciency)\] **× ( . )**

## The average ATC&C loss for all the DisCos in 2022 was 45.46% comprising

## 23.21% technical and commercial losses, and 28.98% collection loss.

## Collection losses (including unpaid bills from sensitive customers, disputed bills,

## etc.) continue to form a substantial part of the ATC&C loss. This reinforces the

## need for DisCos to intensify efforts in revenue collection to improve their cash

## flow and meet market obligations. Non-payment of bills by Federal/State

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

* * *

Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) also continue to contribute to the
ATC&C loss incurred by DisCos. To avoid a moral hazard that may hinder
regulatory action on underperforming DisCos, it is critical for the government
across all tiers to pay their bills fully and in a timely manner.

Table 4.6: ATC&C Loss of DisCos in 2021 and 2022

| DisCos | MYTO Targets | Average ATC&C Loss |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 |  |
| Abuja | 19.27% | 44.62% | 43.20% |
| Benin | 17.37% | 53.96% | 51.73% |

| Aggregate technical, commercial & collection Loss | - | 46.85% | 45.46% |
| Technical & Commercial Losses | - | 23.43% | 23.21% |
| Collection Losses | - | 30.58% | 28.98% |

The overall ATC&C loss of 45.46% in 2022 was substantially higher than the
expected allowable ATC&C loss (20.75%) provided in the MYTO applicable
in 2022. In absolute terms, Ikeja maintained its record of having the lowest
ATC&C in the market (18.33%) for the fifth consecutive year. Conversely,
Kaduna was the worst performing DisCo with an ATC&C of 74.90% in 2022,
this means that for every ₦100.00 worth of energy delivered to the DisCo in
2022, it only collected ₦25.09 in revenue from customers.

## variances relative to their allowed MYTO targets for the year with -64.25pp

## (74.90% vs a target of 10.65%), -40.95pp (68.22% vs a target of 27.27%),

## and -39.07pp (50.38% vs a target of 11.31%) respectively.

## As shown in Table 4.6 the ATC&C loss improved in 2022 by 1.39pp from the

## ATC&C loss of 46.85% reported in 2021. The reduction in ATC&C loss is due

## to the combined decrease in both technical & commercial, as well as in

## collection loss which decreased by 0.22pp and 1.60pp respectively, in 2022

## relative to 2021.

## At the micro (DisCo) level, seven (7) DisCos recorded improvements

## (reductions) in their ATC&C performance between 2021 and 2022 with the

## biggest improvements being achieved at Yola, Ibadan and Ikeja which reduced

## their ATC&C losses by 6.46pp, 5.17pp and 5.00pp respectively. Conversely,

## four (4) DisCos; Kano (+4.67pp), Jos (+3.20pp), Enugu (+1.41pp) and

## Kaduna (+0.86pp) recorded increases in ATC&C loss between 2021 and

**2022.**

## As highlighted earlier, none of the eleven (11) DisCos had an actual ATC&C

**loss that was less than or equal to the target contained in their tariff orders for**

**2022\. The inability of the DisCos to meet their allowed loss targets means they** **are unable to meet revenue requirements thereby compromising their long-term** **financial position.**

## 4.2.5. Market Remittance

## In the absence of cost-reflective tariffs, the Government commits to cover the

## resultant gap (difference between the cost-reflective and allowed tariff) in the

**form of tariff shortfall subsidy – this is applied to the NBET invoices that are to** **be paid by DisCos. The Commission is saddled with the responsibility of** **determinin each isCo’s inimum emittance i ation ( ) ased on its** **allowed tariff – the MRO is contained in the periodic Tariff Orders issued by**

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

* * *

the Commission. For ease of administration of the subsidy, the MRO is only
applied on the NBET invoice – the MRO represents the share (in percentage)
of an NBET invoice for which the DisCo is expected to make payments. DisCos
are required to pay 100% of the invoice issued to them by the MO.

The implementation of the MRO sought to end the discretionary remittance by
DisCos, ensure transparency and equity in the disbursement of market funds for
the benefit of all participants in the industry and ultimately address the liquidity
crisis facing the industry3. The applicable MRO (%) for each DisCo to NBET
and MO in 2022 is contained in Table 4.7.

An MRO adjusted invoice of ₦816.25 billion was issued by NBET and MO for
energy costs and administrative services to DisCos in 2022. The DisCos remitted
a total of ₦632.25 billion, resulting in a deficit of ₦184.00 billion during the

Specifically, low remittance in the industry adversely affects the ability of NBET to honour its financial
obligations to GenCos while service providers (i.e., TSP, SO, MO, NBET and NERC) struggle with paucity
of funds which adversely impact on their ability to optimally discharge their functions.

It is clear from the remittance figures above that the upstream market liquidity
challenges reported in 2021 persisted in 2022. With the payment assurance
waterfall in place, DisCos inability to remit also confirms that they were unable
to earn their entire revenue requirement, this will have prevented them from
having the funds to undertake necessary operational/capital investments.
Therefore, the imperative is on DisCos to implement solutions geared towards
reducing their ATC&C loss to the levels approved in their respective tariffs. This
will allow them earn revenue to meet their market obligations, cover
operational costs and provide return on investment for their shareholders.

6.1 Consumer Education and Enlightenment

Section 4 of the Electricity Distribution License NERC/LC/049 states that “The
Licensee shall; (a) draw the attention of the consumers to the existence of the
consumer protection standards, and substantive revisions and they may inspect
or obtain a copy of the code in their latest form, (b) make copies of the
standards available for inspection by members of the public at each of the
relevant premises during normal working hours”. In furtherance of this, the
Commission continued to monitor the customer enlightenment programmes
across all the DisCos. In 2022, the Commission conducted eight (8) town hall
meetings with electricity consumers as listed below;

• Benin (March 15th – 17th)

• Eko (May 11th – 13th)

• Port-Harcourt (June 8th – 10th)

• Sokoto (June 21st – 23rd)

• Owerri (July 6th – 8th)

• Ibadan (November 15th – 17th)

• Katsina (November 22nd – 24th) and

• Abuja (December 6th – 9th).

During the meetings, discussions centered around several critical items
including:

• Issues around Service Based Tariff (SBT)

• Capping of estimated billing

• Strategies being adopted by the Commission to bridge the metering gap
in the industry.

• Metering gaps, and

• Customers’ rights and obligations

* * *

During the year, the Commission continued the airing of a pre-recorded radio
enlightenment program, ‘Electricity Update’ across twelve (12) states in the
country including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Live radio sessions where
the Commission’s staff addressed key issues in the Nigerian Electricity Supply
Industry (NESI) were also aired.

The Commission continued its Annual Electricity Essay Competition for
secondary school students across the country in 2022. An award gala was held
at the Commission on February 13th 2023 where the 3 best performers were
presented with awards.

6.2. Metering of End-use Customers

The status of the metering of end-use customers is presented in Table 6.1. The
total number of registered customers as of December 2022 was 12,152,106
with 5,134,871 (42.25%) of them metered — metering rate increased by
+5.79pp from 36.46% in 2021.

| DisCos | Registered Customer 2022 | Metered Customer 2022 | Metered Customer 2021 | Metering Progress as 2022 | Metering Gap 2022 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Consumer Affairs NERC Annual Report 2022

## In 2022, 589,997 end-use customer meters were installed under the four (4)

## metering frameworks; Meter Asset Provider (MAP), National Mass Metering

## Programme (NMMP), Vendor Financed and DisCo Financed Metering. This

## was a 29.49% decrease compared to the 836,702 meters installed in 2021.

## The decrease in customer metering is attributed largely to the winding down of

## the NMMP phase 0. The metering gap for end-use customers remains a key

## challenge in the NESI with meter deployment being a critical strategy for

## reducing collection losses.

## Under the MAP framework, a total of 480,344 (+757.16%) meters were

## installed in 2022 compared to 56,039 installations in 2021. The increase is

## largely attributable to the winding down of the NMMP; when the distribution

## of free meters to customers ended, there was increased willingness for

## customers to procure meters under the MAP. MAP uptake was also aided by

## the issuance of the Meter Asset Provider and National Mass Metering

## Regulations (NERC-R-113-2021) which addressed some challenges with the

## implementation of the MAP.

## In the same period, 103,436 meters were installed under the NMMP

## framework, compared to 771,754 meters in 2021. The decrease is due to the

## winding down of phase 0 of the NMMP scheme. Except for Kaduna (30,920,

## +105.94%) and Yola (30,384, +410.23%), all other DisCos recorded a

## decline in their customer metering under the NMMP in 2022. The highest

## reduction was recorded by Ikeja DisCo as it had fully utilised its NMMP phase

## 0 meter allocation as at December 2021. As at the end of 2022, Abuja,

## Ibadan, Ikeja and Port Harcourt achieved 100% installation of their phase 0

## meter allocation under the scheme while Eko, Enugu, Jos and Kano have

## attained over 90% installation of their meter allocations.

## Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

Figure 6.1: Meter Installation in 2021 and 2022

In terms of annual meter deployment, Yola (+410%), Kaduna (+86.62%),
Ibadan (+54.86%), and Ikeja (+15.32%) had increase in number of meters
installed in 2022 compared to 2021. Conversely, Kano (-98.79%), Benin (-
91.10%), Jos (-85.07%), Port Harcourt (-63.75%), Eko (-46.88%), Enugu (-
40.24%) and Abuja (-4.69%) recorded decrease in total meter installations in
2022 compared to 2021 (Figure 6.1).

The MAP and NMMP frameworks continue to provide the clearest path for
mass customer metering. On NMMP, the Commission is actively engaging with
the CBN, World Bank and other relevant stakeholders to accelerate the
financial close and funds disbursement for the subsequent phases of the
program (Phase 1 – funded by CBN and phase 2 – funded by the World Bank).
On MAP, DisCos have been tasked to undertake extensive customer
enlightenment campaigns to increase the uptake of MAP by customers.
Furthermore, the Commission is working on finalising its regulatory directive to
DisCos for customer refund under the MAP; it is expected that this will further
incentivise other customers to procure meters under MAP.

In 2022, customer complaints were predominantly on metering (44.15%),
billing (19.98%), and service interruptions (10.90%), accounting for over 74%
of total complaints (Figure 6.2).

To address these major customer concerns, the Commission has introduced a
few initiatives. For instance, the Commission has initiated a process to
independently verify DisCos' compliance with capping regulations to protect
unmetered customers from overbilling with respect to issues on billing and
metering. The Commission now has access to the DisCos' billing platforms,
allowing it to access billing records for each unmetered customer and compare
the energy billed with the energy cap set by the Commission. Any DisCo that
bills a customer above the approved energy cap will be subject to enforcement
action by the Commission as stipulated in the Commission’s Order on
Performance Monitoring Framework (NERC/316-326/2022) issued in
September 2022.

In furtherance of its mandate to ensure adequate and timely customer

complaints resolution, the Commission continues to monitor complaints handling
and resolution processes adopted by DisCos. In this regard, it requires monthly
submission of customer complaints reports from DisCos to ensure timely

submission of customer complaints reports from DisCos to ensure timely

regulatory intervention when necessary. Within the year, the Commission also

received the fewest (104) corresponding to 18.91% and 1.04% of total
appeals respectively.

Cumulatively, the Forum Offices resolved 57.10% of the total active appeals.
This is a decline of -8.62pp in resolution rate compared to 65.72% achieved in
2021\. This decrease is attributed to the higher number of appeals received in
2022\. The Commission is taking steps to increase the frequency of sittings; this
is intended to hasten the resolution of appeals at Forum Offices. Fifty-nine (59)
cases (0.59%) of the undecided appeals at the Forum Offices were due to
incomplete submissions.
