I will likely close my restaurant because of the phcn issue, just 9 to 9, they cant provide, if at all, i get 3 hours of half current daily which we still use gen for microwave, i spend about 11k on diesel {30 litres), i only used ac on sunday evening when i have shows yet these PEOPLE brought a bill of 58k,i paid 30 when they came around, before i paid it, i told the marketer with them "even though im not at the shop with you guys i can tell you 2 things,
number 1 gen must be running,
Number 2 there wont be more than 3 customers there" and i was right, she was speechless ,if they do the same next month, it would be 28 left over plus 58k,i will shut down, lay off workers, leave this country and go work in a warehouse or something im the uk, we are barely getting by as the price of food is so high, we had to increase prices hence, not a lot of customers on the mainland can afford. Cooking gas prices have more than doubled in less than a year, people now see meal of #1, 500 as luxury. Next months bill might be the nail in the coffin.

Funny thing is, it took about 15m for 2yrs rent, 45kva, 17kva gen etc. The economy in the past 1 year has been horrible, as in worse than the past, not that it was ever that good, anti people policies, insecurity etc.

This country is just getting crazier by the day . If not for God ,many of us would have given up because of Buhari's insensitive policies towards the citizens

The annoying part is not even the cost of electricity, its the fact that you don't get the electricity.

Hello @Crafteck! Perhaps you should invest in solar.
Yes, the initial costs are high, but in a business like yours, a solar system will pay for itself in 5 months or less. Consider what you spend on diesel daily, plus PHCN bills and use it to get a solar system that will comfortably power everything in your shop. The peace of mind you will get no be for here
