It had explained that the tariff shortfall was reduced through the implementation of the PSRP Financing Plan that was approved in November 2021 and that this had further enhanced the cash-flow in the power sector.
The PSRP described the plan as “a credible financing plan for the PSRP programme that identifies how tariff shortfalls will be paid and promotes sustainable growth of the Nigerian electricity supply industry.”
On the reduction in tariff shortfall, it said, “Tariff shortfall payment has been cut-down from a historical accumulation of N1,891bn (N1.891tn) to N247Bn in 2021, and is on course for elimination by December 2022.”
