The Edo State Electricity Regulatory Commission formulates policies, drafts and modifies electricity bills, laws & regulations guiding the electricity market in the state
Our objectives are:
“The Organisation was created out of the defunct Ministry of Energy & Water Resources, and the Ministry of Infrastructure to enable the State effectively execute the Electrify Edo Project, manage the traffic lights systems in the state, and regulate the local electricity. The Ministry was renamed in 2022 to Edo State Electricity Regulatory Commission.”
“To ensure the supply of constant and affordable power for both domestic and commercial users in Edo State through regulation of the local electricity and energy sector.“
“Ensure the provision of adequate, efficient, affordable, and steady electricity supply through Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in line with global trends to enhance economic activities in the state and improve the overall socio-economic lives and well-being of the citizens.”
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has commissioned street lights spanning 7.6km and 5.2km powered by Ossiomo Independent Power Plant (IPP) in various communities in Oredo and Egor Local Government Areas of Edo State.
