FG targets clean, off-grid electricityElectricity distribution companies (DisCos) recorded a revenue shortfall of N49.18 billion in July 2025, despite marginal improvements in billing and collection efficiencies, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). This leaves a revenue gap of over 20 per cent, highlighting the persistent liquidity strain in the Nigerian power sector. Ikeja and Eko DisCos outperformed their peers with recovery efficiencies of 103.78 and 95.58 per cent, respectively. In contrast, Kaduna, Jos, and Yola lagged with 30.34, 41.65, and 73.13 per cent, respectively, dragging overall market performance. According to the government, the administration has kick-started the implementation of one of the world’s largest distributed renewable energy projects, which is the Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-up (DARES) project, a $750 million World Bank-supported programme that will deliver clean and off-grid electricity to more than 17.5 million Nigerians.
