While aligning with the tenets of the Act, the State, the Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, has sustained its efforts to create a business-friendly, investment-ready State electricity market, optimizing ASERA, a regulatory agency designed to manage the State electricity market, exploit a range of energy sources, including renewable energy, gas and hydro, and optimize data-driven decision-making for the equitable deployment of energy access to the people of Delta State.
Activated by the MD/CEO of the Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, the REA Strategic Roundtable continues to aid strategic partnerships between State Governments, RESCOs and other frontline stakeholders in the clean energy ecosystem, while aiding the exploration of data-driven strategies, business models and investment opportunities targeted at improving the States’ electricity market.
