The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) is developing a uniform electricity tariff methodology to guide pricing across states and address inconsistencies following the decentralisation of electricity regulation.

The forum’s representative, Chijioke Chukwu, disclosed this at the ongoing Lagos Energy Summit, saying the proposed framework would help states determine electricity tariffs and establish consistent pricing arrangements.

He said the initiative was prompted by challenges faced by some states in setting tariffs under the decentralised regulatory system.

The framework is expected to provide guidance for states as they assume greater responsibility for regulating their electricity markets.
