The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission says it has no plans to increase electricity tariff for consumers.

 NERC Chairman James Momoh made the disclosure at a news conference in Abuja.

 He said what the commission has done is a tariff review which is usually done twice a year.

 The Commission had on Saturday published new tariffs for the different Discos and categories of customers on its website which was signed by its chairman and Secretary Prof. James Momoh and Dafe Akpeneye respectively

 In another development, Momoh said NERC in collaboration with Howard University, in support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S would be organizing an international conference on Power System Operations and Planning (ICESOP) 2020

He said the conference which is scheduled to hold from Jan. 20 to Jan. 23 has as its theme: “Empowering Micro Grid with Smart Grid Attribute to Development'

The conference, a bi-annual event that was first held in 1992 in Nigeria, would focus on challenges in the power sector across the world.
