⚡ Solar has just become more attractive    Imagine a school, office or factory with a solar PV system that operates mainly on weekdays. When electricity demand falls during weekends or other low-use periods, part of the solar electricity generated may remain unused.    Nigeria’s new Net Billing Regulations 2026 is here to change this. Eligible customers can now export surplus renewable electricity to the distribution network and receive credits on their electricity bills. This creates an additional opportunity for commercial, industrial and public-sector institutions to maximise the value of their solar investments. Participation is subject to the applicable capacity requirements, technical approval and the ability of the local distribution network to receive the exported electricity.    Our infographic explains how the process works.  👉 Click here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNpgTztV   We congratulate the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) on this important milestone for distributed renewable energy in Nigeria.     The regulation was developed with support from the German Government and the European Union through the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Power.     NESP is co-funded by the Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria and ECOWAS and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) in collaboration with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Power. #NetBilling #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #EnergyTransition #Nigeria #NERC #NESP #DistributedEnergy
