Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Despite the unstable state of Nigeria’s grid supply, Nigerian electricity distribution companies (DisCos) paid a total of N137.06 billion to the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in the first nine months of 2024. This amount, representing charges for electricity delivered to customers during that period, covers transmission and administrative fees. This payment represents a portion of the N162.7 billion billed to them, leaving an outstanding balance of N25.64 billion, according to Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) quarterly reports.

Quarterly Remittance Breakdown

The reports detail the following DisCo remittances:

  • First Quarter: N45.10 billion out of a N48.16 billion invoice (93.64% remittance)
  • Second Quarter: N46.78 billion out of a N55.77 billion invoice (83.88% remittance)
  • Third Quarter: N45.18 billion out of a N58.77 billion invoice (76.88% remittance)

Performance Analysis: Top and Bottom Performers

First Quarter:
  • Highest: Ikeja (105.79%), Ibadan (100.00%)
  • Lowest: Kaduna (47.54%), Yola (46.39%)
Second Quarter:
  • Highest: Yola (149.99%), Eko (95.92%)
  • Lowest: Kaduna (21.84%)
Third Quarter:
  • Highest: Ikeja (94.80%), Abuja (87.42%), Yola (86.34%)
  • Lowest: Kaduna (16.95%)

Significant Performance Drops (Second Quarter)

Jos, Kaduna, and Kano DisCos experienced the most significant drops in remittance performance during the second quarter: -32.77 percent, -25.70 percent, and -22.40 percent, respectively.

Overall Trend and Concerns

The overall trend shows a decline in remittance performance throughout the first three quarters of 2024. The significant disparities between top and bottom-performing DisCos highlight systemic issues within the sector.

Why It Matters

Nigeria’s electricity sector, a critical component of its economy, suffers from inefficiency and instability. DisCo remittance performance reflects their ability to pay for transmission services, crucial for delivering power to consumers. Consistent underperformance signals potential financial instability within the sector, impacting electricity quality and availability for households and businesses. Failure to remit invoices fully impacts the TCN and the broader energy value chain, potentially hindering infrastructure investments and worsening the country’s electricity challenges.

Conclusion

The declining remittance performance of Nigeria’s DisCos in 2024 highlights systemic financial and operational challenges. While some DisCos showed high remittance rates, the overall trend of declining payments and regional disparities underscores the urgent need for reforms to stabilize the electricity grid and ensure the sustainability of the power supply chain. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving energy reliability and driving economic growth.
