Your is still better, I get 22units for 5k power...

That's Band A unit now, 88units for 20k.

Adjusted since last year and gotten used to it

Kelklein:
Ok.. I just observed a drastic reduction in the Units given when I purchased electricity from AEDC. (See screenshots - the first shot was the unit given in Dec for same amount 73.4kwh, but now drastically reduced to 36.7kwh (100% reduction)

Did anyone observe this..

I thought maybe they changed my Band, so I went to their website to check the meter status. But it was the same Band B.

Just for context, the 5k loaded above would last for one week previously but now it would last for 3 days because of the 100% increment in cost. In a flat with few modest electronics, no ACs running. What that mean is that we would pay close to 50k before the end of the month. Previously 20-25k.

The thing is the surreptitious way they executed this.. no noise made, no announcements, just booooom, like a thief in the night.

With everything Nigerians are currently going through, this is heartless and insensitive on the part of everyone involved in this backdoor Tariff increment.. from the DISCos to the Regulators to those making this draconian policies, that seek to sniff life out of average Nigerians.

Omo, I bought token last week , 16.6 units for 1k.

I just bought again like 1 hour ago, only to get 4.4 units for 1k . This na with low 130-150V wey dem Dey supply o.

This country na useless country, I swear!

A nigga is coming here with his robust reply to shed more load (sorry, light) on why this is justifiable and energy isn't cheap anywhere in the world.

I notice that too before #2k use to last me for one month,now 2wks on band d

weapon fashion against innocent nigerians

That's tinubu and his urchins demons


Only God can deliver nigerians from them

Yours still good. Mine gives 4.4 units for 1k. That's like 21.2kwh from r 5k and I use it for just 24hours.
Since the 1st of August 2024, I've been using 5k light every other day

Must be Jos or band A like they did to mine

You too stop buying weekly
From 73kwh to 36kwh...that's 50% reduction in unit purchased for the same 5k. Na wa o

I get 100+ with 5k on band D.. funny thing theres been steady light despite the band d with at least 18hrs of light daily on average. Since September last year na i don recharge last

Omoapena:

Same here, you must be under ikedc right?
I use 5k daily ie 22 units on band A ie if I manage it well.
I sorry for business owners right now. The Chinese guys in my office premises I once wrote about that opened a nylon making factory and poached all the workers in the neighbourhood, I hear just laid off half their workers. Hear their monthly electricity bill runs into 30m+.
The event center and mini hotel next door is contemplating shut down as their bill is about 7m.
Imagine a whole UCH Ibadan has not had electricity for 2 months because their bill is over 400m and rising.
Bros, very few business can operate with such high cost of power. Solar is not an option because the cost of setting up solar to run a 30 room hotel will be crazy, not to talk of changing all the ACs to inverter units.
This people are killing the economy gradually.

I live in Ile Ife. On May 29, 2024, I bought #10,000 and I got 168 units. The same #10,000 gave me 326 units before that. I used the units I purchased in May till December 9th, 2024. I don't use much power except ironing and pumping water. I even switch off when going out and return late in the evening.
I bought #5000 on December 9th, 2024, and was given 68 units. I used till 20th December 2024, travelled and returned in January 2025 and used till 27th January 2025 when the units finished.

I bought another #5000 worth only to be given 22 units meaning in just a month #5000 worth of power has reduced from 68 units to 22 units.
I had to buy #10,000 worth on Friday to keep just in case, only to observe that it is now 44 units. Something that was giving above 300 units. What is the rationale used to justify this increment?

Mad people just full nairaland 😂

Ak47young:


They likely haven't classified that meter under Band A yet, which could be the reason for the issue. He might have bought the meter from someone and installed it himself, leading to the discrepancy. The authorities usually conduct inspections and should identify this in due course.

He is being charged 136 naira per kWh ,that clearly shows it's not a band A charge

When I just moved into my new apartment, I bought 10k worth and they gave me over 150units, it lasted me about 2months then when I tried to renew with same 10k, they gave me 44units and I was just blaming myself why didn't I just buy 50k initially, but then I didn't know they were going to switch me to band A.....

It's shows You have never paid electricity bill in your life , under Band A 205 naira per KWH there is no way you can spend less than 30k monthly if you have just one fridge , I am on Band A prepaid and I spend over 100k monthly If I have people around and about 50k if I am alone like I am now

Chisos!
There is no way that school can pay except they charge even more than babcock.
Back in the 90s we had 24hrs electricity in UI during the military rule, every few days you see tankers driving into the campus to deliver diesel to power the generators all courtesy of FGN.
