I just hope it's not empty ranting
I will give my respect if there is sanction or penalty for their theft and day robbery

I didn't see AEDC why?

Nigeria electricity sector is a scam, been operating by scammers.

Nigerian security and electricity sections are scammers.


The #ZooNigeria is a scam.

Where is taxpayers money going to

Roundpeg:
That's good

OP,what is uncapping Order 197/2020?.
Stop this beautiful nonsense statement.
we no go school- break down of the offence please.Nevertheless,Ikeja Disco,hmmm!.

They are still on my street right now in Palm Grove disconnecting electricity and collecting bribes..

NERC,, come and start from Pedro, Palm Grove, Gbagada, Bariga and Shomolu

It will die down in two weeks,when money exchange hand.Na bribery and corruption dey kill Nigeria.

dominique:
Abuja DISCO should have been included every single DISCO is guilty of this

They(AEDC) complied substantially with the directive. Pls don't include them here

dominique:
Abuja DISCO should have been included every single DISCO is guilty of this

why do you say Abuja Disco should have been included..how much have you been billed per month since March? I think they have complied, residential customers are now 3 thousand something and commercial 6k plus respectively...how much are you being billed??

Bariga... Ilaje
Those people are wicked.... We have complained countless times yet no response or even reduction in the estimated billings, I tried to send them a mail... But they said their mail is full so mine can't be sent.

After hustling under sun with the whole sweat, I'll come back home and still receive another heat stress. Now let me sleep to ease the stress, neighbours will now com with their generator. Habaa we don tire o. I get prepaid and I dey recharge 5k and e go last for 6months simply because we don't get regular power supply

When the extortion became too much for me I paid for prepaid meter. I have not spent up to 30k in the past 5 months. Meanwhile I had advarage bill of 30k a month b4.

What about AEDC, They should be included

miniziter:
I surely know my BEDC will be there.

I think the most useless.

Nothing good about that company.

Seriously they need to start sanctioning them most especially that Eedc of a discos.
Seriously the flaunting billing and the lack of provision of prepaid meter is alarming.

miniziter:
I surely know my BEDC will be there.

Very useless one

Ikeja surpose to be first on the list, over 80k per month...

Biggest scam

The topic and right up was not sufficient to digest and understand so i did an assignment for you guys and this was copied and pasted below for you


NERC ORDER ON THE CAPPING OF ESTIMATED BILLINGS IN THE NIGERIAN ELECTRICITY SUPPLY INDUSTRY
By punuka on April 3, 2020
By Order No/NERC/197/2020, dated February 20, 2020 ( the ‘Order’), the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) repealed the NERC (Methodology for Estimated Billing) Regulations 2012 (the ‘2012 Regulation’), and made an order capping estimated bill to unmetered customers by Discos in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI). The Order is billed to take effect from February 20, 2020.

The main objective of the Order is to protect unmetered R2 (Residential-single and 3-phase meters, who consume more than 50kWh per month) and C1(Commercial-single and 3-phase meters, small businesses) customers from arbitrary billing and expedite their metering process.

The Order, among other things, states as follows:

1. Discos are to ensure all tariff class A1 customers (customers using grid-connected premises for agriculture, schools, water boards, religious houses, government and teaching hospitals, etc, that require single or 3 phase meters) are properly identified and metered by April 30, 2020;

2. All unmetered R2 and C1 customers shall NOT be invoiced for consumption of energy beyond the price capped in schedule 1 of the Order, (by illustration, NGN1, 872.00 for R2, where consumption is capped at 78kWhr per month at a tariff of NGN24/kWh);

3. All Residential customers who consume not more than 50kWhr (R1 Customers) per month shall be billed NGN4/kWh at a total maximum of NGN200 per month;

4. All other customers on higher tariffs shall be metered by April 30, 2020 otherwise they shall remain connected to supply but without further payment to the Discos until a meter is installed.

It was also directed in the Order any customer whose current estimated bill is below the capped price shall remain so without upward review until the installation of a meter; and any customer who rejects the installation of a meter MUST BE DISCONNECTED by the Disco.

The purport of the Order as stated in its objective and as succinctly captured above is quite apposite in the pursuit of customer satisfaction, however, there is need to point out that the energy cap on estimated bills for R2 and C1 customers is on a case by case basis and not a uniform base tariff of NGN1,800 popularly held.

Schedule 1 of the Order makes clear provisions for Area/Business unit-specific billings per kWh for R1 and C1 customers. For example, in Abuja, whereas Kubwa is billed 114kWh for R2 and 120kWh for C1, Maitama is billed 432kWh for R2 and 548kWh for C1. In Lagos, whereas Apapa is billed 376kWh for R2T and 300kWh for C1S, Island is billed 774kWh for R2T and 648kWh for C1T. Whereas, Jigawa North is billed 61kWh for R2A and 60kWh for C1A, Kano Central is billed 83kWh for R2A and 86kWh for C1A. For more enquiry you can contact us at: info@punuka.com

Exactly . We have just started the process. Paid 40k for prepaid meter. I did not come to township to come and make nepa rich. They just keep increasing ours every month despite the come and read it ooo, but they change the figure when they get to office. From 3k to 4k to 5k to 7k and 15k this month. I no dey use air-conditioner ooo, nor do I cook with electric Stove neither do I iron cloths. My bulbs we're changed to led 3 wats.

I don't want trouble so na to settle the matter once and for all and get prepaid meter.

very good!

otokx:
Why have they refused to provide meters for consumers?

High time the government reprivatized these suckers

Great news have become so scanty these days that Nairaland is now gasping for what to push to front page.

I don't get the lawlessness in Nigeria.
In my area, we have not had light since Saturday. This is light they ration for us I!
Two days On, Two days Off.

But those two days On, something must happen that we won't have light. And the bill has increase self.

Diijerr:
Is that really enough for sanction

Haba, do you even understand the situation? Are you an electricity bill paying adult?

Donald3d:
please do

We almost had a "fight" with IBEDC officials today.
Every month they keep increasing the bill, yet power keeps getting worse.Its very annoying.

The entire power sector should be privatized. Look at what happened in the telecom sector, competition has forced them to render better and cheaper services over time.

Fix power in Nigeria and see the economy pick up.

The Nigerian government likes being penny wise, pound foolish, just to extort the average Nigerian .

As a work-from-home programmer , I can just imagine how much I would have spent on fuel if I didn't wake up on time to get an inverter .

How can I be paying for something that is almost non-existent

How can one privatize what has been privatized?

Doyou2019:

High time the government reprivatized these suckers

Its not that easy, the contract they signed we heard limits government.

The solution is to make prepaid meters compulsory in Nigeria and provide it for every consumer.

Ikeja Electric has been crediting me just half of the unit I pay for whenever I subscribe. I sent a mail to their customer service and they sent a feedback that a debt of 46K was transferred from a postpaid bill account to my prepaid meter. However, I find this fraudulent as the account from which the debt was transferred is different from my postpaid meter no plus I'm very certain I was not owing Ikeja Electric before moving to prepaid meter.

Has anyone here experienced this before and what is the best way to go about this situation?

otokx:

That one na privatization for paper. The government still controls most of the power sector from generation to distribution, directly or indirectly .
I can't wait to have 24/7 power. Its really sad.

Diijerr:
Is that really enough for sanction

Yes....in Nigeria, to enforce discipline you need scapegoat!

Story story after they've collected enough money from the poor

Apt!

Chogzee:
This is Nigeria, Don't be surprise NERC is part of the problem. Nigeria is so bleeped up as regards the power sector, just forget it. #CashOutLoading4NERC

Diijerr:

Do you have anything to say or you just want to comment for the sake of it?
