EEDC sent electricity bill to us last week despite not having light for over six weeks. Our transformer was vandalized. The major issue is that we saw a new bill for BOREHOLE. Separate bill for borehole? I was shocked. Since I enter Onitsha na this kind madness person dey see. I never hear this one before or am I ignorant of their current billing system. Has anyone experienced such? Them no even gree say prepaid meters dey.
their billing system is just crazy. They just type anything that comes to their head. I once didn't have power in Owerri for 3 months and I was sent bills throughout. Ask them for prepaid they will be looking at you like you asked for american visa

DISCOS do not generate electricity .Blame your epileptic power supply on your FG!
GENCOS are private entities. they were all sold under GEJ. They don't generate partly because politicians are using 'avengers' to burst gas pipelines. Also they are playing tom and Jerry with DISCOs and gas suppliers (NLNG). NLNG insists of selling gas to gencos for dollars. I really don't understand why NLNG, a Nigerian company is selling gas to Nigerian discos in dollars. gencos collect money from discos in naira. discos are complaining customers are not paying enough. gencos are complaining discos are not paying enough for them to buy gas and handle overhead. NLNG is complaining gencos don't pay their gas bills. Sometimes, this complaints can mean non generation of power.

Please stop this joke of yours please.
AEDC is -0%.
Those of you giving AEDC kudos must be resident in the city. Please use your powers to rescue those of us in the satellite towns. This AEDC guys have finished us here. No prepaid meter, very high estimated bills (imagine One bedroom flat paying over 7k a month with poor supply). It's very disheartening. Please you guys should help us. I've not had light for weeks now but yet bills keep coming. Story is that the Transformer was vandalised. Who vandalised it when in the real sense, it is only the AEDC guys that go there.
Refusing to give out Pre paid meters to customers in the satellite towns just so they can continue milking them with estimated billing with no supply to show for it.
Always diverting supply to the city centre alone.
I just feel like going to their office and breaking the teeth of all their top management staff who are Zambians.

As a community, have you collectively written to the management to pour out your grievances/threats, and also reporting to NERC?

We should start from there.

Vandalization of transformer, I doubt if any official staff of AEDC can be responsible due to good take-home.

Where were you when the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) disclosed that Discos are in the habit of refusing to take the maximum electricity loads allocated to them to distribute to there various customers? That’s also the fault of government.

IKEJA ELECTRIC. In my area 20%. 1, Fashola will trickishly say today, don't pay estimated billings, yet, he is not doing anything to effect change, Fashola is also Highly Dubious 2, they have removed their fuse because people are not paying. 3, those that are payhng, no matter how little should STOP PAYING because is of No use paying when you are also punished for paying. 4, the buyers of NEPA whom i believe that the former heads of states who could not give light to Nigerians are part owners. 5, they are now giving consummers high ficticious bills in place of estimation billings, 6, they claim meters are not working, where do they get the consunption figures they are billing us with? 7, if they are shading light from transfer, how then, do they determine individual usage? 8, our past and present leaders, the rich that bought NEPA are simply Armed Robbers making sure the poor are extorted from, to give them. The saying that said the rich will get richer by collecting from the Poor is a fact. 9, NIGERIANS, SOME OF US HAVE BEEN IN DARKNESS FOR 1, 2, 3 WEEKS WITH NO LIGHT, I THINK WE CAN STAY FOR A LITTLE MORE BECAUSE PHCN CANNOT DETERMINE OUR DESTINE AND WHEN WE SHOULD BE HAPPY. 10, yes, we can stay for a little more because when they need money to pay salaries, then we will know is stronger. But, NIGERIANS?

You are dumber than the folks you are criticizing, DISCOS don't generate electricity no doubt but their unscrupulous actions keep you in darkness anyways; let me give you some examples, I was on a facility tour in a transmission station and I realised some Discos don't buy as much as they should, what it means is that if 6hrs electricity is allocated to your area, your DIsco buys just 2hrs while the rest 4hrs are darkness. where you are not on prepaid meters, your disco will bill you for those 4hrs at month end, realistically speaking, you actually pay your disco for darkness they artificially created.

From my experience interphasing with some of them, 80% of the time you are in darkness because of issues with your substation (transformers).
Do you know that your transformer requires routine maintenance? flushing and drying the coil chamber, replacing desiccants, oil etc, it is actually written in the installation manual of those sub stations, when last did your disco do that? the result is constant substation failure, a cost that is back charged to you after enjoying months of darkness. Apart from inadequate generation and weak transmission infrastructure experienced nationwide, your Disco fvcks you worse than the government, you are just too ignorant to realize that.

NLNG does not supply gas to power stations, why should the gas not be priced in usd? when the investments that produced the gas was made in Usd? go to GE website where the Gencos purchase their turbines from and show me anyone that is priced in Naira. even the service contracts that keep the plants running are priced in Usd, You have quickly forgotten that some of our Gencos are foreign investors.
Even Nigeria (NGC) doesn't sell our gas in naira why will Total or Shell do that?
