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

@HadizaB85863870 The platform is not working.
It doesn't process further after debiting 5k+. Please correct the anomaly before sharing this info so as not to give the entity a bad name. It probably happens with new sign-ins and it needs fixing.
@taadelodun@egi_nupe Alhaji was in Uganda taking pictures with the President, with only the latter wearing face mask. My first instinct was to sue him for not wearing one given that a part of Uganda is dealing with ebola at the moment. Dude doesn't understand how many people need him to stay alive.

“Yesterday, being May 14, 2026, made it exactly one month since I bought that bread, and I decided to check on it again. The bread is still fresh. It’s not only Bon Bread, there are several other products with similar issues, and all these contribute to kidney and liver problems.”🤯🙆
— Ms. Love Dooshima, the woman who went viral over her claims about a loaf of bread, shows what the bread currently looks like as she advises Nigerians to pay close attention to what they consume because of its effect on the body.
When Saka got this MTNN ad deal back then (₦50m)… imagine if he negotiated:
• 50% cash
• 50% in MTNN shares
That ₦25m in shares alone would probably be worth an insane amount today, plus years of dividends dripping in
Some deals pay you once. Some deals keep paying you while you sleep.
Think about it when you’re less busy.
NB: This post isn’t to banter anyone, just highlighting the power of ownership, equity, and long-term thinking.
Enjoy your weekend 😘
