The key important insight of electricity policy is analyzing how people use energy and how energy use changes over time. However, the lesson from these insights has been largely ignored by the Nigerian Power Sector particularly at the distribution level, which is evident from the dwindling decay in her Power Sector. To drive this lesson and policy insights home more, this paper provides a general overview of the load demand pattern for domestic and commercial consumers in Enugu City from 2013-2014. More so, a proper examination of the load demand in Enugu from 2013-2014 shows that Enugu City is predominantly occupied by domestic load consumers while commercial consumers spatially contribute to the total Electricity demand in Enugu City. This work concluded showing that averagely Electricity daily demand for both domestic and commercial consumers increased by 31.7918MW in 2014 approximately 3.50% than in 2013 as anticipated due to the commissioning and flagging off of three new NIPP Injection Substations in Enugu so as to decongest the available over loaded feeders. Consequent upon this, the number of outages or load-shedding due to overload during peak periods has reduced significantly.
