What Asiwaju saw in 1999. He attempted to break the monopoly of NEPA, decentralise power distribution and create a separate electricity market in Lagos. Of course, he was frustrated. But as God would have it, 3 weeks after becoming President in 2023, he signed the new electricity act to allow states to take ownership of the electricity market in their domains. I am a fan of decentralised electricity markets. I don't believe that the electricity rate per kWh should be constant across the country. The cost of electricity per kWh in California is different from Washington DC. The rate is different in London and Bristol. The market cost of electricity should be determined by local factors. Infrastructure, transmission cost ( distance ) distribution cost, demand and pricing strategies should differ. Niger state just like Washington is the Hydro power leader in Nigeria. The market realities should be different in Niger State. The per kWh rate of electricity is cheaper in Washington than the National US average. I would like to see how states, especially the Enugu Electricity Regulatory Commission manage their electricity market with the new tariffs. Govt's role in electricity generation, distribution and supply is limited. Govt doesn't generate electricity in Europe and other developed countries. Private players do and for them to thrive, we must create a conducive market.
