  "summary": "The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has introduced the Net Billing Scheme, allowing Nigerians with solar power systems to earn credits on their electricity bills by supplying excess electricity to the national grid. Consumers who generate more electricity than they consume can export the surplus to the grid and receive credits, which will help reduce their electricity bills. This initiative, announced by the commission on its X handle, aims to encourage the adoption of renewable energy and reward consumers who contribute surplus electricity to the national grid while promoting renewable energy and improving electricity availability across the country.",
