Ondo State Electricity Regulatory Bureau(OSERB) has licenced BEDC Electricity Ondo Limited(BEOL) to take over power distribution and retail in the state.

 

 

 

BEDC Electricity Plc was in charge of power distribution and retail in Ondo State before the constitutional amendment that allows state governments to take charge of their individual states on the power distribution and retail.

 

 

 

 

 

BEOL was licenced on Wednesday by Ondo State Electricity Regulatory Bureau(OSERB) and the licence was presented to Mr. Olumide Atilola, who led the management of the BEDC to the event.

 

 

 

 

Presenting the licence to BEOL officials in his office at Alagbaka, Akure, the Coordinator of Ondo State Electricity Regulatory Bureau, Engr. Stephen Bolawole,said the licencing was in line with the new constitutional requirements.

 

 

 

 

 

He said NERC had earlier written to OSERB to take full control of the electricity market in Ondo State starting from October 22, 2024.

 

 

 

 

BEDC’s Managing Director was represented at the occasion by Regional Head, Akure, Regional Head Ondo, Regional Technical, Ondo, Regional Technical, Akure, Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineering, Engr Samuel Folorunso, License Electrical Contractors Association of Nigeria(LECAN) among others.

 

 

 

 

Engr. Bolawole said: “With the licencing of BEOL,the people of Ondo State shall henceforth communicate with OSERB and no longer BEDC PLC or NERC.”
