Later, other electricity undertakings were set up by the native and municipal authorities in different parts of the country. From this date onwards, and until 1950, the pattern of electricity development was in the form of individual electricity undertakings set up at various towns. In 1950, inorder to integrate power development in the country and make it effective, the federal government passed the electricity corporation of Nigeria ordinance No. 15 of 1950.

In January, 1973 NEPA became operational when a general manager was appointed, with the mandate to generate, transmit and distribute electricity to all parts of the federal and charge customers minimally for their consumption.

This decree gave NEPA the sole responsibility of providing electricity to the entire Nigeria populace.
