Lagos — The Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission, NERC, has said the Metering Assets Providers, MAP process will take a more serious implementation starting from August 1.
In a series of tweets on its official Twitter hand, @NERCNG, it said necessary arrangements are already being concluded to make the plan a reality.
According to the regulator, it will monitor implementation through regular reporting from the MAP, and Discos on deployment and implementation, adding that regular visits will be made “to confirm the actual installation of meters”.
The MAP implement started on May 1, 2019.
Two payment options provided are upfront and installment but the emphasis, for now, is on upfront payment, NERC said.
