I will advice anyone sharing metre to buy a personal "CHECK METRE". This is not the regular metre, but, a check metre. It measures your energy consumption. Once you know your energy consumption, then, you have the idea of the amount to pay

You can also suggest to the landlord or facility mgt company to install Check metres for all tenants or occupy, thereby, everyone pay for what they consumes while sharing on Metre

gratiaeo:
Prepared meter is immovable, it's registered with house number

sarujaSA:
Yes, you can calculate your usage by installing sub metering which is called extra and mind you, you cannot take the meter away from the house it was registered in

You cant take it along with you when parking out?
Pls, explain the "not movable"?

yemmit90:
A single face prpaid meter is now around 135k.

I share prepaid meter with four people including my landlord. We spend only 16k in a month. We are on Band C which is approximately 16 hrs a day

Murketeer:
Why not do 2M solar and throway Nepa light

Inspirer1:
you are absolutely right, some peope are generally wasteful....I know someone who finished 200 units in less than 12 days, he is requesting they put him on estimated billing .....and I'm still using mine within same period... so imagine sharing metre with such a person and he will be claiming nonsense equal bills payment...
Someone can even be staying in a one bedroom apartment and use more units than someone staying in a two bedroom apartment.

YoungLionken:
With this your level of comprehension, I can only help but pity those around you. You just exposed how dumb you're with the gibberish you wrote up there..

I'm even more curious to know what you graduated with...

HopeVictor:
People suggesting he should buy a prepaid meter and register in his name are probably Tennants that doesn't even know the process of acquiring a prepaid meter.

The only remedy is to plead with your landlord to get another meter then you share the bill or deduct from your next rent if you're paying for it.

FireUpNow:
Price of single phase prepaif meter is 135k, you will also pay for KYC and installations. Getting a meter now together with Installations is high. The landlord should purchase the meter or if the tenant does, calculate total expenses then make agreement with oga landlord for you to use it as rent.

gabbasin:
you can't use smart meters elsewhere except the address it's originally registered for use

Love800:
Pls, what does this single phase prepaid meter mean?

Is there still other types of prepaid meter apart from this single phase?

Trendy247:
If you can afford 40k bill on a month, then you can afford to get your own prepaid meter. But be aware that prepaid meters are not movable.

netmillionaires:
So many things need clarification in this country. Another issue bothering me is concerning electricity connection. I built a house for my parent but electricity is yet to get to the area. My parents are staying there and have been managing the small solar installation.

Now while the electric pole is being gradually installed, The community CDA is asking the houses to make payment for the poles and the metal nepa cable that connects the poles before being allowed to connect their houses to the mains. The requested amount from each house is close to #300,000. So I have been wondering who owns the pole and its connecting lines. If it is NEPA, why then do we have to pay that much to connect our house?

Is it not the electricity companies' responsibility to bring their service to the area while the landlords pay for monthly services rendered?

valentineuwakwe:
NEPA does not sell or give individual tenants who does not owna house prepaid meters

Love800:
"use it as rent" pls i dont understand that statement.

HenryWilliams:
No.
The meter is owned by the DISCOs, like all other electrical components purchased by communities or individuals..
It's a useless ACT copied from the derelict era of NEPA and PHCN

Love800:
How are your parents using the solar without inveter?

wirinet:
Then what are you paying the N135k for? Payment for an item should convey ownership or at least partial ownership in the form of a lease.

Warrior247:
. In my compound, we have one central meter, but everyone has their own card reader .... That means you only pay for the electricity you consume, and you can give the person in charge of the prepaid meter to recharge your own for you when ever you finish your own units....

The card reader is only 10k here in Lagos, but I got my own free from my landlord when I rented where I live now

mamaafrik:
You can't leave with the meter while leaving because of the address

paddy4jungle:
Simply buy and install a unit counter. It settled this issue in my compound. About 10k to 15k

Love800:
Where did you apply for it?

DrKlever:
Lmao 😂. You guys never heard of prepaid meter unit reader? It keeps tab of your energy consumption and tells what each person should pay. 0*7*0*4*5*3*6*8*5*6 chat or call me if you need help getting, installing and tracking it to avoid cheating. Of course it's cheap and you can easily resel to next tenant or anyone.
