The Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC), on Saturday, said Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) recorded the highest remittance efficiency of 43.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2019.
The Second Quarter Report was obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos from the website of NERC.
NERC also said Jos and Kaduna DisCos had the lowest performance of 13.1 per cent and 13.5 per cent respectively during the same period.
The commission also expressed concern over the significant drop in Enugu DisCo’s remittance rate from 30.44 per cent in Q1 2019 to 24.55 per cent in Q2 2019.
NERC said: “The challenge of low remittance to the market is still a concern to the commission as it is one of the main causes of the liquidity crisis facing the Nigerian electricity supply industry.
“As highlighted in the preceding quarters, low remittance adversely affects the ability of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading (NBET) Plc to honour its financial obligations to GenCos.
“Service providers; Transmission Service Provider (TSP), Market Operator (MO) and NERC also struggle with the paucity of funds, which is impacting their capacity to perform their statutory obligations.
“The individual performance indicates that, with the exception of Enugu and Ibadan DisCos, the DisCos recorded increase in their remittance performance in the second quarter of 2019.
“Also, the aggregate combined invoice settlement rate for all DisCos rose to 30.6 per cent. However, none of the DisCos remitted up to 50 per cent of their market invoice.”
The commission noted that DisCos must improve their efforts towards reducing Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) losses to levels commensurate with their performance agreements.
It said Ikeja Electric recorded the highest progress in reducing ATC&C losses, decreasing to 25.9 per cent in the second quarter of 2019.
NERC said seven other DisCos, excluding Abuja, Enugu and Yola, also recorded relative improvements in their ATC&C losses during the quarter under review.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a
little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a
free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any recommendations? Many thanks!
Thank you for your kind words about our blog! That’s a great question, and we’re excited to hear you’re planning to start your own site. For beginners, starting with a free platform like WordPress.com can be a great way to learn the basics without pressure. Once you feel more confident and want more control over design, features, and monetization, moving to a self-hosted or paid option (like WordPress.org) is often the next step. The most important thing is to start small, stay consistent, and write about topics you’re truly passionate about—your voice and dedication will shine through!

Hi there exceptional blog! Does running a blog like this require a great deal of work?
I have virtually no knowledge of computer programming however I was hoping to
start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if you have any ideas or techniques

however I just wanted to ask. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words about our blog. We truly appreciate your encouragement, and we’re happy to know that you find our work valuable. To answer your question, yes—running a blog does require consistent effort, but it doesn’t necessarily demand advanced programming skills. Many modern blogging platforms, such as WordPress, Blogger, or Wix, are designed to be beginner-friendly, so you can start publishing content without writing a single line of code.
What usually takes the most work is not the technical side but the planning, writing, editing, and maintaining of quality content that keeps readers engaged. As a new blog owner, we’d recommend starting small: focus on a niche you are passionate about, post consistently, and pay attention to feedback from your readers. You can also explore free themes and plugins to customize your site and make it more interactive.
Over time, you’ll naturally pick up the skills you need. Blogging is more about creativity, persistence, and connection than technical expertise. We wish you the very best in starting your blog, and we encourage you to take it one step at a time.
