Our History
The Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED) evolved from the “DisCo Roundtable,” an informal group of the electricity distribution company operators, which was established post-handover of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) successor Distribution Companies (DisCo), in the early part of 2014. Subsequently, the “DisCo Roundtable” was incorporated as ANED in January 2015, with a membership of the eleven (11) PHCN successor DisCos in the country.
