No! you only have light when power is restored to your area its benefit is that you will stop receiving estimated billing from the DISCO, which in most cases is outrageous!
Tho I'll rather prefer the estimated billing because the rate at which your unit finishes(esp when you have heavy appliances) is alarming I'll just make sure my meter is registered under residential unit.

no just dat you would realize that nepa have been deceiving you since. When you use prepaid, they would lose if they don’t bring light unlike the estimated billing system

you won’t have light. Just that you would only pay for light that you used. Unlike the estimated bill where you pay for light that you don’t use
