The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued two power licences to the Alaro Connect Free Zone Enterprise at Alaro City in Epe, Lagos State.
The licences would allow the enterprise to generate and distribute electricity within the free zone.
The NERC made this known in a statement on its X handle on Monday.
According to the commission, the purpose of the first licence is for Embedded Electricity Generation of 10 megawatts capacity at the Alaro City, Northwest Quadrant, Lekki-Epe Expressway in Epe, Lagos.
The second licence, the NERC said, was granted for the purpose of independent electricity distribution within Alaro.
