Yes, the situation is bad and nigerians are quiet about it and some pple are making uncalculated comments. Imagine this, phcn earns 500M from 1M meters every month, I guess the no of meters in the whole naija will be over one million. Then come to talk of th high tarrif. For me its extorsion. |

I will be more than happy to pay N3000.00 for electricity for 3 weeks. In fact I spend N1500.00 every day to power my generators each day for only about 6 hours at night whenever I am in Nigeria. If electricity is constant every time, I would be more than happy to pay N10,000.00 per month. |

Now that you’re being charged for exactly what you use, it is up to you to adjust your usage. The problem is that most Nigerians have never been in a position to learn how to conserve electricity due to lack of availability and the erratic way PHCN used to bill people. Things to consider: 1. Do you need a 60 inches flat screen TV? All things being equal, a bigger TV will always consume more electricity. 2. How about your computer? How much electricity does it consume? All computers are not created equal. 3. Is your fridge and freezer energy efficient? Can you tell me how much energy they consume exactly? The manufacturers usually provide the number. 4. Do you really need a 100 or 80 watt light bulb? 5. How about other kitchen appliances like toasters, microwave ovens etc? How often do you use that your 1300 watts microwave oven? 6. Is your AC energy efficient? Do you run your AC on “Hi” 18 hours a day even though your windows are partially open? The bottom line is that you need to start checking the energy consumption of any electrical appliance that you buy. For comparison sake, I pay $0.0986 / kWh which is about NGN15.60 and my monthly bill ranges from $400 per month to as high as an occasional $600 per month. Your rates are not high at all. As a matter of fact, I see no reason why your rates should be lower than what I pay in the US because our transmission and distribution lines are more efficient than yours. I can almost guarantee that your rates are going to be raised in a couple of years because of the heavy investments that is needed in your power sector. 1 Like |

Whatever they say about Jaganba of Africa is sentiment and anger. The only state functioning in Nigeria today is Lagos, because of the legacy laid by Asiwaju there is no one in Nigeria that can match Tinubu’s achievement all of you that criticise him are mediocrities .Ondo state for example has potential to compete with Lagos in term of infrastructure and economy development. Mimiko has not use the so much wealth and potentials to attract any investor to the state. No single foreign direct investment and public private partnership, all we can see is inducing individual and group with cash to speak on his behalf over 400 million spent on declaration day economic wise this money can create job for 10,000 people not to talk of more than 500billion subvention excluding loan and internal generated revenue. No single industries function in the state. The state that has the second largest deposit of bitumen in the world Iroko is not expose to attract investor to tap huge resource available in the state . Ondo state has the largest level of unemployment in Nigeria. Akeredolu is on rescue mission. Mimiko is doing all these within is exposure and capacity not capable of delivery 21st century dividend of democracy. AKETI has travelled far and wide and has all it takes to transform the state within a short period of timeif given opportunity. 1 Like |

The Increase in Tariff is really biting. but trust Nigerians, give them Cheap Light and they will leave all their bulbs on through the day. if the Govt can achieve 24/7 light. the Amount charged isnt too bad, comparing Generator noise or high cost of fuel etc. I am so tired of Generators! generators! plsssssssss |

Dis Guy: You need to do an audit of all the appliances in you house, then think of the one you dont need to have one whilst your away- like the fridge in the rooms, change all the bulbs and make sure the last person leaving the house to work switch everything off except the kitchen freezer n fridgemust he stays in darkness when there is light, the main issue here is that there is no where in the world that the government increase their power tariff by 98%, thats way 2 much, and its called extortion. |

sulex947: must he stays in darkness when there is light, the main issue here is that there is no where in the world that the government increase their power tariff by 98%, thats way 2 much, and its called extortion. i dont think there;s anywhere in my post that i in anyway advised him to switch off his lights. He said he is out most of the time, hence switching of appliances that run in the background; and i agree with you the increase is very steep but I've said in long time ago on this site (esp all those abroad is expensive threads) that the cost of living will actually increase as things improve in Nigeria I would have expected the nerc increase would be gradual say 20% every year but seems they are being advised by the almighty western firms using their own pricing template |

edogram.: Sir, the least I can say is that you are blessed to enjoy light 22 hours a day. I burn generator 3-4 hours daily and consume fuel worth N3,000 in one week and am not complaining. Am yet to connect to PHCN. Anyway, i dont think electricity is costlier in Nigeria than foreign countries. |

thoth: How can 500 be collected monthly ? For what ? What maintenance are they doing ? The average african man always shoots himself in the eye not to talk of the foot. Why would the tariff be 13 naira ? That has always been our lifestyle because of our deceitful and cunny nature. We often times think we are smarter than we actually are. |

The problem is that most Nigerians have never been in a position to learn how to conserve electricity due to lack of availability and the erratic way PHCN used to bill people.now listen to this fool, you should have first compared naira to dollars, then compare the minimum wage of US to nigeria and also compare the ratio of the average americans earning and how much he is supposed to pay for electricity every month. What sort of liar are you in that you pay more than $600 on electricity a month ? I think only stupid nigerians would allow themselves to be shafted again and again with this stupid line. |

3000 naira for 3 weeks in a 4 bed room is cheap. mine I paid 5000 and it is gone in 3 weeks in a 3 bed room falt. no use of /ac as the weather was fine but had more time of light. Same amount usualy lasts for 2 months at N6.30per kw/h. this time it is N12.3per kw/h . I was thinking maybe because of the more time we had light but the truth is the kilowat was less....it was previously over 640kw for N5000 but now it was 304kw for same N5000. God, how can one cope? |

ooseven:what silly school of economics did you go to ? How did they buy the power company ? What is the meaning of investment when they will make three times what they bought the company in just two months ? What incentive is there to invest and improve the power sector if you can just relax and milk the people ? Moronic Africans pushing themselves to economic slavery. |
