The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has placed limits on estimated bills that can be issued by electricity distribution companies to unmetered customers.
The commission said all unmetered R2 and C1 customers should not be invoiced for the consumption of energy beyond the cap stipulated by it. It said all other customers on higher tariff classes must be metered by Discos no later than April 30, 2020, adding customers would not be liable to pay any estimated bill issued if the Disco failed to supply meters.
“Discos shall ensure that all customers on tariff class A1 in their franchise areas are property identified and metered by April 30, 2020,” NERC said.
What modalities have they put in place to ensure compliance?
Only if implementation will occur otherwise this is just paper talk
Please do something to avert further prolonged power cut of over a year and three months at Edibe-Edibe, Atim Edem Rise, Daniel Henshaw and adjourning Streets of Calabar South, Cross River State. Via communal efforts a transformer arrived three months ago but no power supply.
