Who We Are

The Edo State Electricity Regulatory Commission (ESERC) is the independent regulatory authority responsible for regulating the electricity market within Edo State. ESERC provides the legal, commercial, technical and institutional framework required for the development of a safe, reliable, efficient, competitive and sustainable electricity market in the State. The Commission regulates electricity activities within its jurisdiction while protecting the interests and rights of electricity consumers.

The Edo State Electricity Law, 2025 formally establishes the Edo State Electricity Regulatory Commission as a corporate body responsible for implementing the State’s electricity regulatory framework.  NERC subsequently transferred regulatory oversight of Edo State’s intrastate electricity market to ESERC in August 2025.

The Commission is also responsible for creating an enabling regulatory environment that encourages private-sector participation, investment and innovation across the electricity value chain.

Vision

A reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity market that powers Edo State’s prosperity.

To regulate the Edo State electricity market independently and transparently, promoting investment, protecting consumers and improving service delivery.
