It also stated that no payment was made by Odukpani-CEET as it received an invoice of $3.42 million from MO during the period.

On the performance of distribution companies (DisCos) in Nigeria during the period, the report showed that the combined invoices issued to the DisCos in 2022 stood at N826.49 billion. From this amount, the DisCos collectively remitted a total sum of N617.71 billion.

Further breakdown showed that the combined invoices issued to the DisCos in 2022/Q4 was ₦231.01 billion consisting of: generation costs from the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET): ₦188.74 billion; transmission and administrative services from the Market Operator (MO): ₦42.27 billion.

From this amount, the DisCos collectively remitted a total sum of ₦181.78 billion (₦145.91 billion for NBET and ₦35.87 billion for MO) with an outstanding balance of ₦49.23 billion.

In third quarter, the combined invoices issued to the DisCos was ₦204.84 billion split as follows: generation costs from the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET) ₦164.34 billion; transmission and administrative services from the Market Operator (MO) : ₦40.50 billion.

Also, the combined invoices from NBET1 and MO to DisCos in 2022/Q2 was ₦185.01 billion split as follows: generation costs: N149.89 billion; transmission and administrative services: ₦35.12 billion.q

Out of this amount, the DisCos collectively remitted a total sum of ₦126.69 billion (₦102.35 billion for NBET and ₦24.34 billion for MO) with an outstanding balance of ₦58.32 billion.

“The combined invoices from NBET (MRO1 adjusted) and MO to DisCos in 2022/Q1 was ₦205.63 billion split as follows: generation costs – ₦164.86 billion; transmission and administrative services – ₦40.77 billion.
