If you are in band A,
To reduce your bill, and turn the 24 hours into advantage,
1. Put your refrigerator on half duty cycle, it should be off at night. You either use a timer switch (cost about 10k on Jumia) or you switch it off and on manually - labour intensive. Any night you forget is about 2 kwh or credit units or about N500.

2. Invest in grid tied Solar system. This takes advantage of the 20 hours power availability. You do not need to buy batteries, but you need a good Hybrid solar inverter with grid connection. For every 4 used solar panels, you will produce 1kwh of electricity daily. The more you have the more you produce. As a rule of thumb, each 300w solar panel will give you an average of 50w for 5 hours or 250wh or 0.25kwh.

A normal house with lighting TV and refrigerator, without Air conditioner consumes about 6 kwh daily. Putting your refrigerator on day cycle will reduce 1.5 kwh or credit units leaving 4.5. Adding 5 solar panels, will reduce it to 3.5 kwh. Adding 10 Solar panels will reduce it to 2.5 kW hour. Because you must use lighting and fan at night, you cannot go lower than 2.5 kwh daily without investing in Storage batteries which are the costliest part of solar with 2 or 3 years short life span.

At 2.5 kwh per day your electricity bill for band A will be 2.5 x30 days x N230= N18000 approx. Not bad for 24 hours light.

Band A is very good and expensive no more generators noise in my area .family of 5 we manage 15k a week.

bewisemasses:
Shouldn't this thing be made optional if possible

Lol. Nigerians and adjusting. Nobody can adjust like Nigerians. That's why, all around the world, they are the most resourceful.

But sha, while you adjust, all the "government" needs is to then keep increasing the tariff so that even the 3 hours will fetch them the money they want. That's how it goes.

We better find a way to organize and eliminate the power they have on the masses.

Meanwhile, there a lot of people who can't afford to adjust.

Nigeria wahala 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Exactly. The moment they start taxing groceries and any item you buy, that would be the end of pseudo-capitalism and the birth of capitalism proper in Nigeria. Family planning will follow naturally and we will begin to have a quality population overtime

family planning has started sef.... People no dey born anyhow again o

Wait! Which one is we shàll survive,no be like that life suppose dey? For obodoyinbi that we admire ,no be like that they use their life ? But for Nigeria,we want everything free so that we can waste it,my own is let the light be available when I nned it,let me get it that time

Mitsurugi:
Be innovative. Find ways to conserve power. Switch off power from the change over when you're not around. There are times when you really don't need power on. One of my friends uses one AC from the living room to cool the entire house (apartment though). Everyone just opens the bedroom door to collect share.

We can survive Tinubu

This two are content guys,aisha nd odogwu

Use that extra money to get fresh kilishi from me Biko 😂 no need for freezer sef . Search Arewa kilishi on IG [color=#006600][/color]

Giant of Africa..using BAND A, BAND B,C ,D, E....not even ashame..is this what other smaller African countries that have 24 hours constant electricity light everyday are doing... incompetent people in this APC government

press9jatv:
hmm 🤔 the power isn’t constant at all

Then you're not on Band A.

Nowadays I get terrified like oyinbo kids if NEPA take light

DeLaRue:
Lol

Clearly acted, but the feelings they expressed are shared by many of those in Band A.

You are right. He is actually a skit maker based in Anambra.

Cj4charles:
Oga stop praising bad policies, that is the reason Nigeria is where it is today

Pls what did you what? You still want stable light that you can waste? The question should be ,did you get value for your money?

I think Nigeria practices both Socialism and capitalism.

lebete3000:
You get Solar still dey pay almost 30k bill monthly.

Na wa oh. Me without Solar pays 20k monthly

are u on bandA?E also depend on ur kind of house o.My house na villa

frog12:
just for light?
yepaaa !

It's better than gen fuel 10k is like 4 hours but band A is 23 to 24 hours light

highchief1:
Exactly I’m on band A.i use nepa for just 3hrs daily.7-10pm to power my batteries.all through the day I use my solar.So solar gives me 21hrs light then nepa gives me 3hrs.I am fine with not paying more than 30k bill monthly.If u don’t have solar on BandA u will die

How much is your normal bill now that you use only 3 hours of power from nepa daily?

Judolisco:
Dem Wan finish my guy man with light.... I was telling someone that light has improved, dem think say na joke.... Na bad news dey always sweet people.... I'm not a supporter of dis administration but light has improved

I think what dis administration is doing is to make everybody start working and hustling like they do abroad... If you no pay ur bills abroad, you won't have light or water.... So people take up multiple jobs jst to pay their bills

D situation in d country is something like that now, if u no comut work now ehn, na hunger go finish you, with d level of shege dis administration is showing us...

Very true.

Heat season people go hear am for this country

Sirseedorf:
The way electricity is stable ehn, if you are not careful enough you will be conserving a lot of power...

Abeg which state?

Max24:
You people are hard to please. You said you want 24hours light like other nations and you were given 20hours in some locations. Now the story has changed. It's no longer give us power but it's too expensive. So, basically you want everything to be on Subsidy or free. Was that how America and other nations developed ? Even the smaller West African countries around us are paying more for their steady electricity. You want to go to heaven without dieing. Funny people.

Some in Band C and D still enjoy constant power supply. Why are they rubbing Peter to pay Paul

lebete3000:
You get washing machine still dey use hand dey wash. You're literally living in penury.

Na everytime you use your call card to make calls? Sometimes you even flash the perosn,not that you don't have card but you just think calling the perosn is not important.I might decide to use my washing machine anytime I desire ,not a most,na so oyinbi dey run ham,make light stable first make we get light anytime we want to get the light make we see ham

And you are sure you will have nepa light anytime you need it?

Justnation:
Band A nonsense is the most dubious and deceptive act of governance.
This government is a shame

But you can't deny the light is stable
