Abstract
The distribution arm of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) is responsible for taking delivery of power from the generators through the transmission lines and transforming or stepping down the received high voltage power for eventual delivery to the final consumers. This arm of the NESI requires certain infrastructure to perform its functions and carry on business optimally; The unavailability of adequate and functional metering devices for electricity consumers has had a huge impact on the operations in the NESI, particularly the distribution companies. This persisting metering gap in the NESI has prejudiced the smooth operation of the privatized NESI. Consequently, this paper discusses the implications of the lingering metering gap in the retail end of the NESI, regulatory attempts to close the gap, challenges faced in addressing the situation, and recommendations to address the metering defect and consequent challenges in the NESI.
