Insists for prepaid meter,not reduction in your Billings! Otherwise, you remained a slave for lifetime. Those paying using estimated Billings are paying "OWO OMO GO" Don't be stupid. 1 Like |

Estimated billing is the latest kind of fraud by these DisCos. EKDC increased our tariff from #28 to #52 just within this year and yet we spend less than 5k monthly. But prior to prepaid meter, last year they will be giving us bill of 12k monthly. Now with more people getting the prepaid, they will soon default to erratic and fraudulent increments in tariff. 4 Likes |

stano2:No, they don't. Except it's different in the West as it is here in the East. It didn't take time for mine to be delivered when I moved in to my new apartment here in the east. Prepaid Meter is and will always be the best option. It give you control over your consumption rate and what to expect as the price... You also become aware of the amount you're paying for a unit. 3 Likes |

This thing is simple - Get a prepaid meter. The DISco buy power from TCN and distribute to different transformers dependent on the tarriff the location is on. Now from the KW distributed, those with prepaid pay before they can have KW. Now from what is left to be accounted for, it is consumed by those without Prepaid meter. Among those without prepaid meter, some have this old Analog meter that is read by the DISco officials to determine the amount of power that premise consumed and then they get billed based on what is read. Now for the remaining power that can not be accounted for because those residences have no prepaid or postpaid (analog) meter ; they are given estimated bill. Estimated bill is based on the previous 4 months bill. The main cause of high bills are those ones that illegally "tap" power; they have no account with the DISco to start with. E.g welders. By the time the DISco wants to account for the power consumed by the area and after deducting that consumed by PPM and postpaid analog meter owners; the cost of whatever is left is distributed among those with accounts but no meter. To curb this, it is advised that residents get a PPM and those without it should report those who "tap" power illegally to the DISco ,if not, they will keep getting charged to pay for the "unaccountable" power loss. Let's not forget that these DIScos are privately owned so they are in business to make profit. 1 Like |

shegz24:forget this thing. It's not always the case. What happened in a month where there's no enough power supply. Why won't they reduce the bills? But instead, they will bring the same amount of bills or higher. |

Tonytonex: He just told you one case and he stating Facts, now coupled with the fact that it's a human that has commitments that is writing the readings... Ok, he will want you to come and clear the bill because it on the high side (Although there is legal way of doing that but requires a lot of patience) and you would want to pay, so... That is even the reason why at the beginning, PPM were hard to get and expensive when they started newly, before they gave it to private distributors.(You should know why getting 24hours electricity supply in this country will be....) Hope you have your PPM Sha, If you don't better get one |

To avoid stories, get a prepaid meter. Even at that, some users still tweak and bypass the meter. I know a house that still uses power when they run out of credit. Those on estimated billings will bear such brunt. 2 Likes |

drealcivilceno:your message is not clear. I don't understand the angle you are coming from. You are neither here nor there. But for the early kick off of PPM, in my area. I was among the installers. I remembered vividly, we were pleading with some people to accept PPM. And the price was 25k and 50k for single and 3 face respectively. When they (PHCN) discover that they were not getting much money, they make it difficult to access. |
