The Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission (EERC) has issued a Public Notice inviting owners of captive power generation facilities in Enugu State to apply for the required permit.
Under Section 20(1) of the Enugu State Electricity Law 2023, captive power generators are entities that generate electricity for their own use, with a capacity above 300 kVA or 3 MWh of energy daily. Such entities are required to apply to the Commission for a simple permit, which remains valid for as long as the power is used for personal purposes.
To give effect to this provision, the Commission developed the Permits for Captive Power Generation Regulations, 2024. Under the Regulations, companies, industries and other establishments operating captive power generation facilities above this threshold must obtain a Captive Power Generation Permit from the Commission.
The Commission urges all affected owners of captive power generators in Enugu State to apply in compliance with the Regulations. It remains committed to a transparent and enabling regulatory environment that supports industrial growth, encourages investment, and promotes the safe and efficient operation of electricity generation facilities across Enugu State.
