Our History

The journey toward establishing the Anambra State Electricity Regulatory Commission (ASERC) reflects the State Government's deliberate commitment to reforming and modernizing its power sector.

2023

Following the Electricity Act, 2023, which empowered States to regulate electricity within their boundaries, Anambra State took decisive steps to create its own legal and institutional framework.

15 March 2025

The Anambra State House of Assembly passed the Anambra State Electricity Bill, 2025, after extensive legislative review and stakeholder engagement.

10 April 2025

Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, Executive Governor of Anambra State, signed the Bill into law, formally establishing ASERC and the Anambra State Electricity Market.

9 October 2025

The Governor inaugurated a five-member Commission led by Professor Frank Nwoye Okafor as Chairman and Chief Executive Commissioner, following their successful screening by the Anambra State House of Assembly.

This marked the formal activation of ASERC — a milestone in Anambra's intentional drive to decentralize electricity governance, improve supply reliability, attract investment, and deliver real value to its citizens.
