Delta State on Tuesday unveiled a roadmap to unlock its nearly 3,000 megawatts of installed electricity generation capacity, with plans to establish a Delta State Electricity Regulatory Commission and a Delta State Rural Electrification Agency, as major investors in the power sector pledged support for the state’s electricity market.
Unveiling the roadmap at the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit, Mrs. Uche Okafor, Consultant to the Delta State Government on Electricity Market Development, said the state’s Electricity Sector Law had created the legal foundation for private investment.
She said: “All these things we have discussed need a platform for regulation.
“The Delta State Electricity Sector Law provides the platform to build an electricity market that serves industries, investors and consumers.
“One of the immediate steps after this summit is the establishment of the Delta State Electricity Regulatory Commission and the Delta State Rural Electrification Agency.
