Yoruba politicians are the worst and wicked set of people. Never again

Pluto33:
And after buying in bulk you will never have need to buy again as it won't get exhausted? :-

At least, you would have saved some money for few months or even a year.

We are in for another Shege now....

APC is here to tax life out of us.

What else is new...

MaziObinnaokija:
Waste of time.Except u nor go use ur TV,pump water,Freezer..Best option is SOLAR.Not just any SOLAR but quality,Long lasting ones.I'm currently shopping for one.I might order for it outside Nig..The way BAND A dey zap ur credit ,u'll think nah yo wicked neighbour tap yo current.

Solar dey cheap? Your budget should be from 6 million and above.

Adelabu want migrate more customers to band A to generate more money for his governorship ambition in Oyo State come 2027

plus another 4 years

When no push back, your oppressors increase the suffering

As price of food dey come down now no sweet them.

Why must they associate and force us into a band against our wish and without our consent. That is wrong. Every Nigerian is entitled to freedom of association and choice.

The usual language of this govt is increase! Increase! They have never thought of bringing things down!

On his manhood mandate I will continue to stand until 2099

I dnt have problem with that.Still better than buy 80k token wey nor go last u for 1 month.

MasterJayJay:
If you have spare cash in your account and you are a prepaid user under band b, c, d or e. Better buy tokens in bulk and load before they increase the tariff.

I am in band c under abapower and the tariff is 180 naira per kwh. It was 70 naira per kwh as at December last year.

Shey the one u are buying now nor go finish ni

If you are on Band A, you are better off installing solar. You recoup your money in 2 years and your electricity is free thereafter. You are also immune from future tarrif hikes.

Show us the math. A 5kva inverter with 5kwh lithium battery and solar will be about N4mln to N5mln

If his band A bill is 100k, it will take 4 years to break even.

Why is solar inverter system expensive?

Not possible solar that will carry all appliances in a duplex will cost u 7m minimum flat 3m minimum
Remember if anything happen to any gadget you will buy another

Best thing for band A be on prepaid

Light in Nigeria is still cheaper than all west Africa countries on prepaid not estimated billing

You will soon beg when I’m done with you. Shebi you sabi mention person? You go see shege

COMPAQ:
Show us the math. A 5kva inverter with 5kwh lithium battery and solar will be about N4mln to N5mln

If his band A bill is 100k, it will take 4 years to break even.

assumptions:

1. if your band a bill is 100K it means you consume about 444kw per month or 14kwh per day
2. your average hourly consumption is 14kw/24 or .583kwh
3. average monthly bill is 100k which means in 2 years you spend 2.4m on electricity

calculations:

to generate 14kwh per day you need 4.4kw of solar panels, 8 x 550w panels = N1m
5kw lithium battery N1.2m
2.5-3kw inverter 300K
installation ?

total excluding installation N2.5 million or 2 years payback

if you like you can replace the battery with 7.5KW for more storage capacity at 1.5M (instead of 1.2m) and the inverter with a higher capacity or higher quality for 500-600K (instead of 300K) , add 2 more panels for 5.5kw of panels @ 125k each, increasing your total to N3.2 m or 2 yrs 8 months payback thereafter all your electricity is free.

Assuming tarrif never goes up, Over 5 years you will pay 6m on band A and over 5 years you will have paid 3.2m with the more expensive second option.

Maj196:
Aedc just moved me to Band A from Band B. No heads up nothing

u will enjoy it.

Michelle70:
I am using BandA and I get up to 17-20hours light daily.
Some days I get as much as 22-23hours

You must be very big that you live in all parts of Nigeria

its because you havent done the proper analysis. solar is cheaper than band A

your panels have a 25 year lifespan and lithium batteries will last 10 years even if you change your inverter 3 times in 10yrs it is still cheaper than band A over the 10 year period.

band A tarrif will rise during the 10yr period, once you install solar you have installed solar and you have no bills.

finally band A does not mean you have constant electricity and does not protect your equipment from low voltage and voltage spikes which having an inverter and solar does.

I am on band A, they will still give you an average of 20hrs a day but sometimes they take light 5,6 times in a day, sometimes 4 times in an hr. band A does not mean you will have light every day, we have had days when there is no nepa at all for the whole day then there will be NEPA for 1 week straight. Band A does not help you when the grid collapses. You can have no light for 4 days straight and your disco will still be compliant with the 20hr commitment. It is average of 20hrs a day not a guarantee of 20hrs every day! Whether you are on band A or not you will still require a generator or an inverter and battery so why not just add solar and forget about nepa?

I spend only like 20k a month on bandA electricity.
1hp AC, fridge and TV.
If I was to install solar to carry these things, it will cost me around 3m, that's like 12yrs worth of BandA electricity.
