State electricity markets: what changes
A plain-English look at how the Electricity Act 2023 shifts responsibility to states, and what operators should prepare for.
Practical support for a power sector in transition

Nigeria’s power sector is changing shape. The Electricity Act 2023 lets states build their own electricity markets, while generation, transmission and distribution companies work to close long-standing gaps in liquidity, metering and reliability.
At the same time, off-grid solar, mini-grids and captive power are growing quickly, and water utilities face pressure to expand access. We help operators, investors and public bodies plan, finance and run these assets with confidence.


Under the Electricity Act 2023, states can establish their own regulators and markets. Several have begun the transition from NERC oversight. This creates new licensing, tariff and investment questions for operators and state governments alike.
We work with generation and distribution companies, state governments, off-grid developers, investors and water utilities. Our teams combine regulatory understanding with financial, tax and operational skills to help you deliver reliable, sustainable services.
We help operators and state governments understand what the Electricity Act 2023 means for licensing, tariffs and market structure. For states setting up their own markets, we support regulatory design, transition planning and stakeholder engagement.
