This came at a time I planning to write a complain to NERC.

Can you imagine being charged 90kwh one month and 2 months later 450kwh! 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.

You work with one of the disco I guess?

adanny01:
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.

why must 9ja own be different.
when i was in Ghana upon thunderstorm and rain fall the light did not blink.

No

Hotfreez:


You must be crazy. So, innocent consumers should bear the brunt of the inefficiency of the discos? Why can't they work with the NERC and law enforcement to deal with those engaged in power theft?

They refuse to give meters so that they can engage in estimated billing and you're here talking nonsense.

Why are Telcos not complaining about data theft? Discos have zero previous experience in power distribution and that is what they are suffering now. Their man know man can't help them.

Hotfreez:


If not that you're a fool, doesn't commonsense tell you to direct your rant to the present Minister of Power?

Your stupidity is just like blaming your mom's ex for the imbciles she bore your dad.

AmazingELixir:



Nonsense!...NERC just want to finally kill off the discos, even those with the metering units still shunt the lines, leaving just the lighting units hooked to the meter while connecting the heavy appliances to the bypassed loop.....how do they want these guys to remain solvent for heaven's sake.

Power theft is a serious problem unless that is fixed by all stakeholders, estimated billings should be left alone cos that's how the discos break even.

tricksters:
Wrong law the right law should be any building without a meter should not be allowed access to electricity talk less of taping the line. Any home disobeying this law should be billed N5M with payment due date of a maximum of 3 weeks.

Failure to compile with this law the house should be auctioned immediately for Disco to recoup it N5M n whatever is left paid to the owner of the house.

edoairways:

It isn't awesome. The discos would now supply more power to areas that generate huge revenue at the expense of the masses.

What has Buhari got to do with this ..let's thank the new minister who is committed to removing the Fashola rot

rotile247:


This would be better since without prepaid meter customers cannot pay above the kW cap while with prepaid meter and constant power, you just need to cut down/control your power consumption e.g energy saving bulbs and devices, putting off devices when not in use etc
