415volt: Last year my monthly consumption was increased from 300kwhr to 700kwhr.All they could give me as excuse was that I have no meter(stolen since 2010) because of that we have to bear the cost of those that are connected to PHCN supply illegally in my area.The man in charge told me that the monthly energy supply to a particular area has to be accounted for by house with bill but no meter.We applied for prepaid meter but nothing came out it.I was informed about the promo @ Abule Egba district (pay half of your outstanding bill to clear the remaining half) and quickly fell for it not knowing that its a ruse.Since October when I paid half the remaining is still reflecting on my bill.Presently, I have N35,000 on my bill,what about you.

okpara ugo: i just hate PHCN. i havent forgotten what those people did to my dad when my dad was just paying every useles bill they brought his way.

now people in my area are beging me to join hands with them to install PHCN lines . its a developing area. it's like i will call them the bluff dey burn my gen dey go. they are so unreliable and dubious. i no wan their wahala.

cyrielo: Well my own case is different , we used to be charged 3k per month,so when I told my gf about it she said her dads works @ phcn dat she would sort it out for me. later the following month I was charged N900 but after we broke my bill is now 5k per month I just have to manage no one to complain to.

Oh Lord of Mercy! I just paid my electricity bill of $186 for the month of December. Una dey enjoy for Nigeria o.

9icest: I run on the prepaid during the day, and on the direct line during the night That way I accumulate less....[/b]

simdam500: our own still neva change away 4rm #3000 per month. On top say naa card ooo, as if we dey pay d whole street moni

Cherechy: I'm surprised people have to pay or bribe to get prepaid meter. We were at home one afternoon when PHCN people came in their van, assigned themselves to flats and started installing prepaid meter.
We all had to come out to ask what was going on, when we were told that henceforth we shud start going to their office for credit to recharge. We were told the metre charge will be substracted from each recharge till the bill is offsetted and dt was it.
Since then we've been having uninterrupted power supply except u're out of credit. Only once that we didn't have light for 3months cos some people came and did illegal connection from the transformer and the stuff blew, we agitated till a new one was brought, and it has been bliss!

n.oxide:


"If the power supply is so unreliable, then why bother with all the bills"

I was wondering what would happen if you let them disconnect your house from the power line and you have to use gen all the way. is there a penalty for not being connected to the power grid?

Your ARea, could either be Lekki or Magodo or possibly Marwa GArdens, .... If not ? Such things ain't happening in other populated places o.

Sprumbaba:

What kind of enjoyment are you talking about? Are you paying for the light you did not use like what happens in Nigeria? rubbish

maasoap: It seems to me that you didn't get it. We're paying for what we didn't consume because phcn refuse to distribute meters. Imagine a household with prepaid or digital or analog meter paying 3000 naira monthly while the one with estimation paying 17,000 naira per month. At least you consumed 186 dollars worth of energy.

adorable29: Their maintenance fee is 500naira monthly! What has dat got to do with chargin ur neighbor 1500naira monthly nd then charging you up to 12thousandnaira monthly(even tho u probably use less energy Dan ur neighbor)?! Abeg men are not smiling! Dnt compound issues wit wat you don't know, so u dnt receive insults!
