Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has imposed a fine of N10.5 billion on 11 electricity distribution companies in the country (DisCos) for Non-Compliance with Capping of Estimated Bills for Unmetered Customers

The Commission which disclosed this in a statement said that it will
the fine from the annual allowed revenues of the eleven (11) DisCos during the next tariff review.

It said this is to deter future non-compliance with the energy caps approved by the Commission.

According to the NERC, the action followed a review of the Electricity Distribution Companies (“DisCos”) billing of unmetered customers for 2023 which has revealed non-compliance with the monthly energy caps issued by the Commission.

The Commission said : The public may recall that in 2020, the Commission issued the Order on Capping of Estimated Bills (Order No: NERC/197/2020) and subsequently issued monthly energy caps which aimed to align the estimated bills for unmetered customers with the measured consumption of metered customers on the same supply feeder.

” i. Credit Adjustment to Customers: DisCos are to issue credit adjustments to all overbilled unmetered customers for the period January to September 2023 by the March 2024 billing cycle.
