According to the government, the new operators will help expand electricity coverage through mini-grids, renewable energy systems and independent distribution projects.
Authorities added that the initiative is aimed at boosting economic activities and supporting businesses struggling with high energy costs.
The development comes as states begin taking greater control of electricity generation and distribution following changes in Nigeria’s electricity laws.
