We only get light for 3-5hrs in a day. Sometimes we don't even have at all for 48hrs here in my area in Abuja . I'm so surprised that the Abuja electricity distribution company put us as band B. All this band is a scam. According to my calculation we are not supposed to be in any band self 😂

meum:
Discos: Hello NERC, we can’t hear you. The network is not so good. Can you hear us? Hello! Hello!

What will happen to the units already bought at N225 per unit after the so called downgrade? Will there be an upgrade?

Bmus41:
Do people really enjoy over 20 hours electricity in this country ?

jmoore:

ambale:

COMPAQ:


I had the same situation and they credited the refund against my account after dropping me to Band B. So I bought N5k and got like 180 units because of the refund.

But what happens if I buy like N100k unit while on Band B? And then they improve the power and put us back on Band A. This flip flop between band A and B might harm the DISCO. I'll always just buy unit at the times in Band B.

Macphenson:
This Band A feeder is the greatest scam ever in this country.

Emman08:
They better downgrade me too. Because they're claiming to supply 16-19 hours for Band B customers. We barely get up to 5 hours a day. That's if at all

Macphenson:

ecolime:
This is nonsense

Why 7 days? Why not 48 hours?

This means If you do not have light for 6 days straight but have 20 hours light on the 7th day with this repeated every other week, you will still be classed as Band A.

SWATMan:
You don't put the cart before the horse. This present govt. functionaries are not only empty but rudderless. Why did they not carry out a thourough check to ascertain if this clueless minister knew the depth of the river he was about to cross. When you put triangular peg in a round hole, this is what you get.
Shame on our leaders.

That means everyone of them on that band would have to be downgraded because even as we speak, nobody get light as I heard the Grid had collapsed.

If this thing affects everybody, it means that policy was done in error and ought to be reversed as soon as possible. Commonsense demands that.

My suggestion is, only industrial areas or complex should be placed on band A and be fed as such, while residential areas should start from B and above. The current rate doesn't make any sense at all and should be reduced..

Another thing I observed is, the DisCos placing every Hotels and Hospitality Centre in the country on BandA and making them pay premium regardless of their location, just because they are business centres.. this is exploitation taking tòo far and ought not to be..

Let the Hotel People breathe abeg!!

iswallker:


How do they do that ?

I thought the band you are depends on the feeder you are connected to...or a disco can place you on band A regardless of your location...

emorse:

All I know is that we need thinkers as part of government. Not all these sycophants and "yes men" that we presently have.



If they really need to create and work with different bands, then I think the best thing to do would be to charge as per consumption rather than location.

What I mean is that band E would be people that consume say 50KWH and below monthly, band D could be 51KWH - 100KWH, Band C could be 101KWH - 150KWH an on, and on (I believe you get the point)

The next question would be implementation. That shouldn't be difficult. Your first 50KWH would be charged at band E rate, then the next 50KWH at band D rate and on and on. That way, high consumers can pay incremental rates regardless of their location. Because as it stands, discos are deliberately channeling power to band A feeders at the detriment of other bands. Power wey neva reach before.

If they mandeate prepaid meters, outlaw estimated billing and implement this simple idea above, I bet you power will improve in a matter of months. Forget all that story of say they're owing something trillion for gas. You dey owe money and you still dey declare profit. How does that work
