Sighs, they pretty much sidelined residential users, despite inputs from residential users to their call for draft last year. This is not nice.

[The Grid Post @TheGridPost]

BIG CHANGE:
YOU CAN NOW OFFICIALLY
GENERATE ELECTRICITY FOR YOURSELF, USE WHAT YOU NEED, AND SELL EXCESS ELECTRICITY BACK TO THE GRID THROUGH YOUR DISCO

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has commenced the Net Billing Regulations 2026, a new framework that allows eligible electricity users to generate power mainly through solar energy for their own use and export excess electricity back to the distribution network.

In simple terms, if your solar system generates more electricity than you consume, you can now send the extra power back to your DisCo and receive credits under a regulated billing arrangement.

This effectively creates what the sector calls a “Prosumer” ;meaning you are both a consumer and producer of electricity.

However, there are conditions.

This is not yet targeted at the average small residential solar setup.

To qualify:

-You must already be connected to a DisCo network.

-Your renewable energy system must have a minimum installed capacity of 50kWp and a maximum of 1.5MWp

-You must obtain approval from your DisCo.

-You must sign a Net Billing Agreement and register with NERC.

Approved users will receive bidirectional meters that track: ➡️Electricity imported from the grid
⬅️Electricity exported back to the grid

The final investment decision for Phase 3 of the country’s largest hydrocarbon field puts Abidjan on track to ramp up production to 150,000 barrels a day.

This is so so heartbreaking. I pray and truly hope for the safety of these abductees.

Really drives home the point of "prevention being better than cure".

Any CSO that can't secure the safety of those in their State should resign. I also hope that this isn't political vendetta.

It took you 13 full days and more...

You condemn, but children are still in captivity; 2-4 year olds included. You vow, but when will that vow come to pass.

You truly do not care about the citizens.

FYI - Kidnappers are emboldened when they will get away with their crimes.

I am Nigerian, and right now my dream is bigger than me.

Only about 1% of global electronics manufacturing happens in Africa.
That means millions of African innovators are building the future using ecosystems that don't account for them. Brilliant minds wait weeks for a single prototype PCB to cross oceans, stalled by borders and supply chains that ignore our shores. When iteration takes months instead of days, innovation suffocates.
That gap has consequences. It keeps us as consumers of tech rather than creators.
So at SkyPower / CircuitCraft, we are deciding to build towards changing it.
We are completely rebuilding the hardware prototyping infrastructure right here in Nigeria. Local manufacturing. Precision engineering. Rapid iteration. We are putting the power to design, spin, and deploy production-grade hardware directly into the hands of African builders.
The dream is bigger than us—but we are building the foundation anyway. 🇳🇬⚙️

@Tripleace_Ade @nasirumb Great stuff. Where's your factory/pilot location situated at?

What specific services are currently on offer?

Pattern Recognition is also the form of intelligence that causes the most stress.
You will see things that others do not.

You'll feel crazy.

Things will be *so obvious* to you, and others will just deny it.

@OloyeSomorin @PoliceNG Thanks for the education. Super helpful.

The result:
cooler homes,
better airflow,
less dependence on AC,
and a calmer way to live.

The family’s previous 5-bedroom home spent about ₦400,000-N500,000 monthly on electricity.

This larger 7-bedroom home now averages about ₦100,000 monthly.

They now enjoy natural ventilation when they want to, views of nature from their bedrooms, and spaces filled with natural light throughout the day.

Up to 80% of the spaces do not use artificial lighting between 7am and 6pm.

Good design changes how people live.

Where do you start? If you want to do this yourself and avoid using an agent, the best places to shop for Chinese EVs sight unseen are Alibaba and AutoCango. I generally prefer AutoCango because it is a platform specifically built for cars
