Audio sanction

So NERC has this power and responsibility?
Ok I want to sue NERC for keeping quiet for too long

Brendaniel:
This people are funny o, you fined them 10 billion for over billing unmetered customers, why not fine them to make refunds to the customers or convert it to energy units for them.

even NECk Abi NERC dey over bill 😁😁😁😁😁😁

When the fine now comes, are they channeling it back to the customers that suffered the overbilling?

LibertyRep:
It is my conviction that estimated Billing is nothing but a bare-faced, government sanctioned extortion scheme

It is crime against the hapless and helpless masses that must be criminalised.

Consumer Protection bodies must ensure that this sanction is not audio but must be seen to be effected and reflected in the March bill.

#EndEstimatedBillingNow

It is not an extortion scheme.
The model used by DISCOs is what is wrong, which is why NERC introduced capping that was neglected by DISCOs.
This neglect is what they are fining them for.

If there is no meter, a model will be used to bill customers. The actual energy consumption reading cannot be accurate hence the value is estimated viz the name estimated billing. In this case, your energy consumption should be estimated on reasonable model because you must pay for the energy charge. Unfortunately, DISCOs hide their inefficiencies under this menace called estimated billing.

How does customers get the excess monies they paid?

fergie001:
NERC Sanctions Eleven (11) DisCos Over Non-Compliance with Capping of Estimated Bills for Unmetered Customers

No be to sanction them...ensure they pay the fine

How do we get to a level of voting expired old theives into government and ignoring young vibrant youths like Olusegun Aganga, Adeshina of ADB, Rotimi Ameachi, Yemi Osibanjo etc

PHEDC wickedness no even get part 2

Ikeja Electric wanted to finish me that year. 90k monthly even when you don't use light at all.

It is well

It would have made more sense if the Discos were directed to provide free meters to the unmetered consumers and also credit the excess charges to the meters

And what in my comment is wrong for you to say that?

themanderon:
It's now that they are waking up to the heist perpetrated by this discos, especially eko distribution and EDDC. Those ones(EDDC) are specialists in fleecing customers anyhow.

January bill make dem come collect na area dey wait for them

I wish its not audio fine.

Nairaland1 come and see.

sweetkev:
In a sane country, meter should be given to customers free of charge while customers only buy units.

They don’t want the customers to have meters. What they call estimated bill is nothing other than excessive billing. If bills are actually estimated, they should either be higher or lower than the actual bill. However, in the case of Nigeria, the so called estimated bill can only be higher than your consumption, never lower.

This is laudable.

I very much hope BEDC is amongst them ooo!
They’ve indeed dealt with us here in Asaba🥹

emnite:
It's the same unmetered customers that'll still pay that fine yeye country

What kind of a person are you. We don't need people like you in this country. You are very irritating for calling your country yeye country.

Corruption and Nigeria are like 5 and 6. Why issue direct you don't have to, or that you don't intend to enforce?

Another audio fine

And where's the 10.5bn going😕

Caricature sanctions

JuanDeDios:

Please tell me Ikeja Electric (IE) is among them. They should pay N5bn out of it!

Honestly those guys are wicked. I was billed 168k for a light I did not use. They only installed the meter but it wasn't in use for about 3 months and the next I saw was a 168k arrears.

Will the fine be shared to their customers
