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. Abi oo!!! It's almost as if people are suggesting that even though there is electricity, according to some, people should still continue to live in darkness. |

I must commend the trio of GEJ, Barth Nnaji, and Sam Amadi for the work going on the power sector. These are the kind of conversions we should be having as Nigerians, not government subsidies. Yes, the charges by PHCN may be too high compared to the earnings of the average Nigerian. When the foreign companies take over PHCN the charges will go up but light will be 24/7 for most of Nigeria. We as a people have disowned ourselves socially, culturally and religiously, so we have lost politically and economically. Let the foreigners/private investors come, invest and run the sector. We will consume the power and pay the bills. |

Re: N3000 Electricity Tariff Credit Exhausted In Three Weeks by BALOUSJAY: 4:21pm On Aug 14, 2012 |
Am in surulere Lagos under the Eko Electricity Distribution, initialy my monthly bill was less than N2000 per month(Not a prepaid meter) and my meter is function well in a double room and parlour self contain apartments. The cahrges then was N4.80/kwhR2 and supply was not constant. Last week they brought a bill of N6,500 at N12.87/kwhR2 and supply for past six weeks has being 23/half hours to 24hours constantly. If they are to switch off within 5minutes the light will be back to the extent the water inside the fridge is block. How do i manage the high bill with the supply? Is it normal? Because i have written them twice last year just because of abnormal bill amd the moment they acknowleged my letters subsequent bill do come down i.e bill of N1,600 to N3,400. Am thinking of writting them again, should i or not. Kindly advise me on that |

ooseven:Mtn was chased away from many countries because of their exploitative mode of business, go read that up on the net, even zimbabwe told them they should play fair or get out. Only western puppet nations like nigerians with greedy criminal leaders and unenlightened citizens would see that as fair. What is the aim of investment if this is what is all about ? Why don't they go to china or vietnam and invest cus i know those country know what they are doing. You people should abandon your Voodoo economics. |

That is the way it is everywhere and even worse in some other areas and we all are to blame. Need I remind you that This is barely a manufacturing/industrialized state that consumes way more than it produces? Need I remind you that as a result of her huge exportation of technology compared to Nigeria and other African states, the currency of South Africa for instance with whom Nigeria is compared to with regards to power generation is about 70 times that of Nigeria. Need I also remind you that This country barely produce but rather consumes about 70% of technology from USA, China and Japan put together? Untill the problems of this country is tackled from the root and not the stems and leaves, she will keep moving one step forward, ten steps backward. Lets see how long this "9000+ Mega Watts power generation" charade will last, how the govt will sustain it when people start using under ground method to access it. I rest my case. |

thoth: GboyegaD: Nigerians and sentiment! What does minimum wage have to do with how much it costs to generate and transmit electricity? Is your electricity subsidized? Shouldn’t the cost to generate and transmit electricity be passed on to consumers? If that’s the case, then the incurred cost to generate 1 kW should be about the same barring inefficiencies and the cost to power the power stations. Like the US, Nigeria has an abundance of gas to power the power stations; however, unlike the US, Nigeria is still lacking the infrastructure to get the gas from the gas fields to the power stations where it is needed, which means that it will cost more to generate power in Nigeria. Now with your thinking cap on, exactly why should electricity be cheaper in Nigeria? To the guy lacking common sense calling someone a fool, see the attached picture. Ode!

Wallie: 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.How are you being charged for what you're using when you're paying 500naira monthly whether you have power supply or not. Why not tie the whole charge to per unit charge? In that case, the electricity companies will also be motivated to improve power generation. but in a situation where they are sure to rake in 500 naira per meter per month whether they provide light or not, is not a good idea. 1 Like |

Kindly advise me on thatSince you have analog meter and it's functioning well, you'll see the the telephone number of the marketer that brings you bill every month on your bill. Check the reading on your meter and text it together with the name, address, meter number and account number on your bill as well as the name of the month in form of sms and send it to his number between 10th and 20th of every month. But if you can take it to their office yourself, you can locate your area's marketer there. |

I understand your feelings especially since the service is erratic but keep in mind that the rate is just a needed precursor to get investors motivated to come into the power sector. An investor can now say with confidence that it will take X number of years to recoup their investments based on the current rate. The 500 naira is probably a service charge for providing power to your house. |

Kobojunkie: There's no reason to doubt how much you pay but like you said, you live in a 4 bedroom apartment and run 4 machines a day. No where in my post did I give any indication as to the size of my house or apartment and what’s contained in it. Also, in my post, I said “as high as an occasional $600 per month.” I would have thought adding the qualifier “occasional” before 600 means that it only gets that high sometimes but I guess not… |

Wallie:it will take only 3 months by that rate to get back the amount they paid for the company. Now how is that an investment ? What do we gain from such witchcraft investment ? What incentive makes the investor to actually improve the services if he can just sit back and make gains without doing anything ? If china was having that kind of investment i wonder where they would be by now. |

Wallie: @Wallie, a) This post is discussing the cost of electricity for a home(place of residence), and you decided to bring in a number in an attempt to suggest that what you pay there close to average cost of electricity incurred per household in anywhere USA. b)I felt it was my place to ensure that people not be misled into thinking what you posted was anything near average for an american home, or even small businesses. c) Saying as high as is still being dishonest, because again, the average electricity bill in homes across America never come close to that amount, for any month. Not even during the winter years. |

The price you are charged depends on the kind of appliances you use in your home. If you have like 2 ACs that you use regularly, then be ready to pay heavily! |
