Olayinka777:

Sure u can

Pls explain how to do that, cos someone said once preapid meter is installed we should pay the previous balance they way we pay it before that it won't reflect on the prepaid meter.
Pls explain how to do it

Please what's the percentage that IKEJA ELECTRIC deducts each time you load a Pre-Paid meter which has about N250,000 debt. I was just given a Pre-Paid meter which the outstanding debt attached to the meter.

50% of any amount you recharge … 50% is used to service the debt and you get 50% worth of the amount you recharge

Maybe there's debt on your meter. I get about 100 for 5k.

I also use Buypower. But maybe you should contact them to know the reason for it. Even if you're owing, it's not fair to give only 20 units for 6k.

It shouldn't. The only difference is people enjoying over 12 hours/day monthly average with the higher charges, which should still fetch roughly about 100 units for 5k.

Is it a new prepaid? If so, was there any outstanding bills on the apartment account? It's possible that they're deducting the debt, because truly 798 should probably fetch around about 20 units.
Re: How Much Is A Unit Of Electricity In Nigeria by Gopitoto: 12:51pm On May 02, 2021
Good afternoon guys....During the 5th anniversary of Buypower I won a token from them (10k) units....So I want to sell it. Anyone that is interested, living in Port Harcourt an using prepaid meter should quote me... I need the money so that I can use it for my school fee

Have you been able to get an answer to this? I'm presently in this condition as regards the apartment I just moved to.

My meter is showing 07 Units (above) and below it's showing something like 1238 Kwh.

Somebody should explain please.

PS- the LED light is switching from yellow to red.

Re: How Much Is A Unit Of Electricity In Nigeria by Abiscky(m): 10:09pm On Sep 11, 2021
Please, how do I know the total units on my meter and the equivalent amount? I just moved in to an apartment and was told there's ₦15,000 worth of power on the meter. Is there a way I can confirm this please?

It's a mojec prepaid meter (EKEDC)

odimbannamdi:
I just recharged my pre-paid meter for the first time since installation in April/May.

I was made to understand that my first recharge would be at least 10,000naira as i needed to offset the units i had been using for the past 5months.

So, afer paying 10,000naira, i was given a slip containing the token. The slip reflect that i had paid a debt of 7,200naira, and that the remaining 2,800naira (VAT inclusive) got me 111.2units.

Diving 2,800naira by 111.2units gives circa 24naira/kwh. I think thats what i am being charged per unit.

I made this subscription last week Thursday, and i just checked my machine now and discovered that i use an average of 1.3kwh daily, and i am not even efficient with energy as i have 2 units of 100watts yellow bulb plus an 80watts deep freezer that was left on all through the weekend. For an area that boasts of an average of 14hours light daily, thats not bad.

So, if i divide 104.7 (my remaining units) by 1.3, that means i will have 80days until the unit gets exhausted. I am really enjoying this. Maybe i will just buy 10,000naira worth of units (almost 400units), topup and forget all about PHCN light issue for at least a year while i work out an alternate source of electricity for the period of power failure

I am reporting from EKEDC.

Cheers guys!
