Nigeria’s electricity supply sector has hit a metering gap of 5.4 million.
The total customer base in the sector stands at 8.9 million, while the number of metered customers in the country is put at 3.6 million, Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency reported in its 2018 Metering Statistics.
The agency noted in its document that any electrical installation planned, executed and put into use without NEMSA’s electrical inspectors test and confirmation of fitness should be viewed as unsafe and illegal.
The report noted that from October 2017 to December 2018, NEMSA inspected and tested 2,690 new electrical installations and power projects along the power supply value chain and utilization.
