I felt relieved with this news. Disco's have since realized that electricity consumers are smart especially with new power saving electric equipment allowing consumers to pay far less when metered than when arbitrary estimate are made. Disco's resort to giving their agents target just like banks do, in other to meet up, agents use bureaucratic means to hinder delivery of meters then over estimate bills of consumers who have the will to keep up with payments. Read the news Amidst sustained outrages on over billing, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has barred the 11 Distribution Companies (DisCos) from charging residential customers above an average of N1,800 monthly until they are metered. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/nerc-bars-discos-from-billing-unmetered-residents-above-n1800.html 45 Likes 9 Shares

The energy cap puts a maximum limit on your Disco. They can't bill you more than the cap unless you are metered. Check your energy caps below. Moderators please front page so Nigerians can know. 23 Likes 4 Shares

Will customers also pay the N1,800 any month there wasn't electricity? I don't know what is so difficult with forcing discos to give prepaid meters. If there are no meters, don't bill anything. Let the discos be at loss with their inability to provide prepaid meters. 68 Likes 4 Shares |

Did I suddenly change my house to welding factory house? I guess their gimmicks has come back to hunt them. We will see how quickly and seemless meters will start flowing. 79 Likes 3 Shares |

edoairways: I don't think so. The challenges of power distribution still exist. Those areas you think will now get more light may not have efficient power supply facilities such as transformers and proper network cables. They are still limited to their network capacity so cannot improve even if they want to. For example, my area is close to a 132kV substation so we get power directly from the 33kV network which is far more stable and only control from the main substation. But the main town has an injection substation which converts the 33kV from the substation to 11kV which 95% of the town uses. That 33/11kV transformer is overloaded so the entire town operates on a ration even when enough power comes via the 132kV. So even if all the areas using 33kV have faulty transformers, the main 33/11kV transformer will not take more load so the town cannot see more light. Its the same problem all over the country. 25 Likes 1 Share |

edoairways: It remains depending on a lot of factors. A substation always has sophisticated equipment to trip off automatically when there is lightening. Secondly, substation operators have operating manuals and instruments that guide them in deciding when to switch off due to wind, temperature and other things if the system doesn't. Most times, we see light trips off a miliseconds before lightening strikes or when rain turns to a windstorm. Windstorm usually causes overhead wires to short circuit leading to failures. In general, we get more electriicity during rain season. I assume due to lower transformer and cable temperatures. 13 Likes |
