The Federal Government has declared that it had commenced the disconnection of some power firms from the national grid as a result of their non-adherence to the Electricity Market Rules.

Although it did not name the affected power plants, the government explained that the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry was governed by rules, which were absolutely necessary for the viability and sustainability of the sector.

These rules, according to the Federal Government, were sacrosanct and must be complied with by all existing or new players in the sector.
