A bill for a law to establish Anambra State Electricity Market and Anambra State Electricity Regulatory Commission has passed second reading at the State House of Assembly.


The bill, aims to regulate electricity generation, transmission, system operation, distribution, and supply across the state.


Leading debate on the bill, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Assembly and Member representing Njikoka Constituency II, Dr. Jude Akpua, explained that it seeks to ensure equitable access to electricity across the state by integrating more areas into the national grid, noting that the commission’s primary objective would be to provide reliable and economically efficient electricity for the benefit of Anambra residents.


Supporting the motion, the Chief Whip and Member representing Ihiala Constituency I, Barr. Jude Ngobili, pointed out that the bill would play a significant role in addressing long-standing electricity challenges in the state, noting that it would facilitate the provision of electricity to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Uli Campus, which has been without power for over two decades.


The Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Somtochukwu Udeze, urged the relevant committee to thoroughly review the bill to ensure its effectiveness and stressed the necessity of establishing a regulatory agency capable of handling electricity-related matters in the state to improve power supply and economic growth.
