The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission says under the National Mass Metering Programme electricity consumers are not required to pay directly for the meters issued to them.

This is contained in a statement NERC issued in Abuja on Monday.

“We wish to reiterate that the NMMP designed to provide all consumers of electricity with meters is a policy intervention of the Federal Government supported by the Central Bank concessionary loans to Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCoS).

“This laudable initiative is still very much on course as a total of over 900, 000 units of meters have so far been installed under the takeoff scheme without any payment by benefiting consumers.

“While this doesn’t cover many of the unmetered customers, we are pleased to inform electricity consumers that the next phase under which about four million units of meters would be procured from local meter manufacturers has commenced,” it said.

NERC and electricity albatross
The Commission further stated that pending the conclusion of the NMMP procurement processes and the commencement of manufacturing and installation, consumers may decide to acquire a meter from the Meter Asset Programme, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

NERC said that the regulatory framework approved by the commission under MAP/NMMP Regulation provides for refund of the cost of meter through energy credits to the customer at the time of vending.

The commission said that the recently issued notice by the commission on the adjusted cost of the meter was designed to protect consumers from arbitrary pricing by MAP.

According to NERC, this is in the context of recent changes in macroeconomic parameters affecting the cost of production.

NERC advised that clarification be made from its Public Affairs Department on any regulatory matter to avoid misinforming innocent consumers.

Wow I made it to the top since 4yrs of been a Nairalander.

These electricity matter don tire me

Residents are not required to build roads in Nigeria.

Believe them at your peril, they are selling this dummy so that they can successfully increase the Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO).
Once that is done, they will tell Nigerians that the cost of acquiring a meter has increased.
Wicked government

The govt looks clueless and confused..


Infact there cluelessness na A parallel and First class...

It's like I'm confused here.
I have read the article over again vis-a-vis the statement few days ago, but each time I get more confused.

Who is lieing, we buy our own poles, wire and transformers, yet phcn will still claim ownership,what a perverted nation.......

Honestly I have tried to read this thing like 5 times now but still didn't get it. Please whoever that understand what they said. Did they say that this free meter they are distributing, that we are going to pay for it and how? Abeg this English is too much for me to comprehend

No be me this peop go confuse..I requested for prepaid meter they said it was free, before I knew it they said the free ones have finished that they were not selling single fave 48k and then next thing say said they increased it to 87k and now I'm hearing free prepaid meter..I don't understand. Maybe I'm not in Nigeria.

The message is straightforward

Prepaid meter was free under phase Zero of Mass Metering

Consumers are still not expected to pay or buy meter but if you intentionally wish to buy b4 the commencement of Phase one, u have to know that price of such meter has now increased to N58+ for single phase

Unfortunately
This is a ploy to deceive the unmetered consumers who desperately need prepaid meter to avoid exorbitant estimated billing

Discos are proposing to increase tariffs on bills this December 2021. New rate may be N22,000 from N11,800

Why then won’t the consumers be forced to buy meters at all cost ?

“Baba nla” scamming

Then why are they AEDC demanding 40-45k from us in Karu local government area of Nasarawa State? You said sth is free yet to monitoring teams to oversight the responsibilities of giving it free to Nigerians in some quarters. Na only money them the monitor for naija

Hope this people are not trying to confuse us with grammar.

The metre money is added to your units recharge, #750 each time you recharge. This APC govt is worst than the devil himself.

They will pay indirectly.

Confusion break bone and double wahala for dedibodi. Punch newspaper of three days ago said that the prepaid meter customer who was given free will have to pay under 10 years. Now how are we going to pay it please. Now they are selling unit 40 per unit, if they now increase it shebi it will get to 80/100 abi? Wickedness just dey learn work where this APC government dey

900k meter shared already
Please provide the database so we can independently verify this claim... See another audio money, Alooter continua

They have counted my house more than 10x for the delivery of the meters but they have never brought it..

My neighbours that have it, paid for theirs

I tot as much
