The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has received a draft copy of the National Integrated Electricity Policy and Strategic Implementation Plan expected to drive the positive change needed to transform Nigeria’s electricity sector.
Adelabu, who received the document on Wednesday in Abuja, said the draft policy document would be presented to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in six weeks.
Some industry experts and key stakeholders in the power sector put together the National Integrated Electricity Policy and Strategic Implementation Plan, a policy document that is targeted at addressing challenges in the sector.
The policy document outlines interventions across the entire power value chain from generation and transmission to distribution and off-grid segments.
The power minister said this was part of measures aimed at improving equitable access to electricity for all Nigerians particularly those in underserved communities, creating an enabling environment for investment to thrive and integrating renewable energy sources.
