The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has introduced a new set of fines under the proposed Energy (Electric Power Undertaking Licensing) Regulations, 2024.
The regulations outline penalties for violations, including constructing or operating a power generation facility without EPRA's approval.
The regulations developed by EPRA apply to individuals or entities engaged in or intending to engage in the exportation, importation, generation, transmission, distribution, or retail supply of electrical energy.
However, exemptions apply to those generating electricity for personal use, provided the capacity does not exceed 1 megawatt (MW).
