It added that higher loss allowances must distinguish between technical and non-technical losses and include a phased reduction plan.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eSpecifically, the regulation states that the elevated loss thresholds \u201cshall be reduced over a period not exceeding thirty-six (36) months from the commercial operation date or such other period as the Commission may approve.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eNERC noted that the provision is designed to accommodate operational realities in underserved and remote areas where infrastructure challenges, long distribution lines, and low customer density often make it difficult to maintain lower loss levels at the early stages of deployment.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThe new rules form part of a broader regulatory framework aimed at strengthening Nigeria\u2019s mini-grid ecosystem, improving electricity access, and encouraging investment in off-grid and underserved communities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eUnder the 2026 regulations, mini-grids remain classified into isolated systems of up to 5 megawatts per site and interconnected systems of up to 10 megawatts, with clearly defined procedures for registration, permitting, and operation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThe regulation also retains a five-year tariff control period for mini-grid projects, during which operators are expected to recover costs under approved tariff models, subject to periodic review and regulatory oversight.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eIn addition, NERC reaffirmed its powers to inspect operators\u2019 accounts and adjust tariffs where actual costs or revenues deviate from projections. Communities and stakeholders may also trigger tariff reviews by formally requesting account inspections.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThe Commission further mandated that all tariff agreements, whether derived from its approved model or negotiated directly with communities, must be filed for regulatory review to ensure fairness, affordability, and cost reflectivity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eBeyond tariff considerations, the regulation outlines strict reporting, monitoring, and compliance requirements. Mini-grid operators with capacity below 1MW are required to submit annual reports, while those above 1MW must file quarterly operational and commercial reports.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eNERC said the updated rules are intended to strike a balance between investor viability and consumer protection, particularly in areas where conventional grid expansion remains limited.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThe Commission added that by allowing temporary flexibility in loss thresholds, the regulation aims to support the financial sustainability of mini-grid projects while ensuring that inefficiencies are gradually reduced over time.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThe Mini-Grid Regulations, 2026, issued pursuant to the Electricity Act, provide a comprehensive legal and operational framework for mini-grid development in Nigeria, covering technical standards, environmental compliance, customer protection, and dispute resolution mechanisms.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eWhat this means<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThe new provision signals a shift by NERC to make mini-grid investments more attractive, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas where power losses are typically higher.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eFor mini-grid developers, the flexibility to operate with higher loss margins, up to 8 per cent for technical losses, means projects that were previously considered financially unviable may now proceed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eThis is particularly relevant in communities with long distribution lines, sparse populations, or ageing infrastructure.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eFor electricity consumers, however, the implication could be slightly higher tariffs in the short term, since losses are factored into pricing models. Nonetheless, the Commission\u2019s requirement for a phased reduction within 36 months is expected to limit long-term cost impacts and push operators toward efficiency improvements.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eFor the power sector, the policy is likely to accelerate electrification in underserved and unserved areas by reducing investor risk while maintaining regulatory oversight. By tying approvals to strict conditions and timelines, NERC aims to ensure that the temporary allowance for higher losses does not become permanent inefficiency.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200e<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200eOverall, the move reflects a balancing act between expanding electricity access and maintaining cost discipline, as Nigeria continues to rely on mini-grids to bridge its power supply gap.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By \u200eGodswill Michael \u200e \u200eThe Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has introduced a new provision allowing mini-grid operators to exceed standard loss benchmarks, subject to regulatory approval, under its newly&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":126582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
