In this episode of WATTS with the Grid, Female executives in Nigeria's Power sector examine the country's Electricity Act 2023 and its implications for the distribution subsector. With the repeal of the 2005 reform act, the new legislation grants states, private investors, and individuals the power to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity. This conversation explores what this means for the 11 distribution companies (DisCos) currently serving Nigeria's 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

Join Rahila Thomas (Country Director, Energy Market and Rates Consultants Limited), Olajumoke Delano (Energy Sector Executive and Multi-Jurisdictional Lawyer), and our host Stella Odiase as they discuss the potential impact on energy access and how this shift could reshape Nigeria's Energy Scene.
