Overview

The document is the 'NERC Regulations for Embedded Generation 2012' issued by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) under the Electric Power Sector Reform Act 2005. It establishes a regulatory framework for embedded generation—electricity generation connected to distribution systems rather than the transmission grid. The regulations cover general provisions, distribution planning, connection requirements (including for renewable energy systems), commissioning procedures, commercial arrangements (such as tariffs, feed-in tariffs, and network charges), technical/non-technical losses, licensing, and dispute resolution. Key definitions, mandatory requirements, and schedules are included. The regulation aims to promote efficient and reliable embedded generation, reduce losses, and facilitate open access to distribution networks.
