Electricity distribution companies in the country have decried the limits placed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission on the estimated bills being given to customers without meters.

The Discos described the assumptions used by the regulator as incorrect, saying the capping of estimated bills was costing them N16.5bn to N22bn every month in revenue.

R2 customers are residential customers who consume more than 50 kilowatt-hour in a month , while C1 customers are small businesses . “On average, monthly collection before capping will drop by N1.02bn . This will worsen Discos’ prevailing challenges with meeting their market remittance expectations.” “Capping of estimated bills leads to increased billing losses up to 20 – 35 per cent depending on the Disco.

They said, “Considering the fact that remittance levels are already low, capping will exacerbate the liquidity situation.
