This is interesting. First of all, the N1,800 written there is false. It depends on your disco and your Business Unit. The N1,800 is for rural customers (those on R1 tariff). Will NERC also ask the transmission company to cap the power provided? Or the discos will do it arbitrarily and cap the power they recieve under so called load shedding? Time will tell. What of the fraudulent meters that some Nigerians are manufacturing? Who will bear the loss? 2 Likes |

joinnow: Just like i said before, our distribution infrastructures are bad. Since discos leave customers with the responsibility of buying transformers and distributing light to their locations, alot of substation and sharp practices have been employed by customers to cheaply get electricity to their domain. Wire bridging during storms is one of the main problems with low tension wires. If wires are underground, I assure you even lightening will not cause electricity failures. |

[Nice move,hope it becomes a realityquote author=adanny01 post=86972496]I felt relieved with this news. Disco's have since realized that electricity consumers are smart especially with new power saving electric equipment allowing consumers to pay far less when metered than when arbitrary estimate are made. Disco's resort to giving their agents target just like banks do, in other to meet up, agents use bureaucratic means to hinder delivery of meters then over estimate bills of consumers who have the will to keep up with payments.

Hotfreez: What do you mean by innocent consumers.....your likes that carry cutlass to chase away the disco technicians when they come to disconnect you for default. I have made my point...the discos should be left alone to make their profits the way they deem fit...if you don't like it switch to renewable energy or gaan buy yourself a lister. 1 Like 1 Share |

This headline is misleading. The 1800 naira is for customers who consume less than 50kwh and are on the R1 tariff. The R1 tariff is for very low income households. Now to the issue of capping power use, it means that, for instance a residential customer in Shomolu Business Undertaking will be billed 321Kwh at the end of the month of he uses a 3phase 4 wire connection. The bill will this be 321*21.80 = 6997.80 +7.5% VAT = 7522.64. NB. Cost of tariff in Ikeja Electric for R2T is 21.80 and it differs from one Disco to another. I think NERC is trying to force the hands of the disco to meter asap. Newsflash, one Disco conducted a POC to meter all customers on its 11KV feeder and the Substation DTRs. At the end of the day, revenue did not improve owing to technical losses which would require heavy investments over a long time. Discos are in for it. 3 Likes |

AmazingELixir: Does that justify unrealistic estimated billing. In 2 months, by bill moved from 90kwh to 450kwh. Can you justify it? From N2500 to almost N12,000. Now my bill averages N8,500. The bills was just robbery. Meanwhile, if you apply and pay for meter, it will take months. You even have to pay bribe to get meter. My friend in Lagos complained he paid 12k monthly but when he got prepaid meter and loaded 10k, it took him 8months to finish. Now they will be eager to install meter if not, they will lose. 3 Likes |

edoairways: This would be better since without prepaid meter customers cannot pay above the kW cap while with prepaid meter and constant power, you just need to cut down/control your power consumption e.g energy saving bulbs and devices, putting off devices when not in use etc |
