Samakus: Your assumption is wrong.Here is the implication. 1) Without Fix Charge Ikeja DISCO for instance is currently charging N14.96 per kWh. and if an increase of N8 is made per kwh it means that the cost of power (kwh)will now be 22.96 therefor, if i want to recharge my prepaid meter with N5000 i will get 5000/22.96 = 217.77 units 2)With Fix charge Ikeja DISCO for instance is currently charging N14.96 per kWh therefor, if i want to recharge my prepaid meter with N5000 if i subtract 750 from 5000 i.e N5000-N750= N4250 With my N4250 balance,I can purchase my power at N14.96 per kWh which will give me 4250/14.96 =284.1 units By then they would have shortchanged you of 284.10 units - 217.77 units= 66.33 units. whereas N750/month fix charge worth 50 units of power its easy to access how far you are shortchanged depending on how much you recharge/month. 5 Likes |

akthedream: In as much as I must admit that you are right, you didn't have to be recastinatory about it. I read the write-up hastily out of elation that energy consumers won't have to complain about the fixed charge. Your analysis was spot on. I acknowledge my error. Thanks for your perspective |

tankoy: My guess. You're using estimated bill or you're a very heavy consumer of energy. Truth be told, Nigerians don't know how to manage and indeed economize energy consumption. That's one of the things using prepaid account will teach you. 1 Like |

Bevista:whats d rite price 4 a service dat fluntuates? Who determimes it? What wil happen to those wit no meter dat get estimated bills, estimated increase? The telecom sector is a wrong example cos their charges reduces overtime as their service r upgraded, but what we av here is increases- twice this yr. Who told u Nigerians dnt want to pay 4 wat they use? When we pay Dstv, Gotv, Startimes and Internet Bundle bills? Hw do we enjoy al these if we dnt pay electrity bills? Wat we dnt want to pay 4 is wat we didnt use 2 Likes |

[quote author=OldJohn post=41209427]Nobody seems to follow the rule of law any more [b] This comes less than a week after the House of Representatives asked NERC to STOP plans to increase electricity tarrifs. very unfortunate u dnt knw how country is governed. First, HOR is not executive arm of govt hence it cant issue directive to any agency. Govt or private. Even fed govt cant isue directive regarding to tariff of electricity coy in nigeria any longer cos it's solely govt agency again |

Stopping fixed charges yet they do not read the metres or the metres malfunction or are manipulated. A PHCN staff once told me tosend readings to him on a monthly basis so he will not send high fixed charges. Well, I hope they get it right this time. It has to start with distribution and installation of prepaid metres sha. So it becomes pay as you go. If I no use light I no go pay. ![]() |

[size=14pt]This is an answer to my prayers. From all my calculations, this new tarrif regime is cheaper. I have been praying for this since 2012. God answered me finally. Fixed charge is the rape charge.[/size] |

Alot of u guys dont knw the implication of dis junk... lets break it down... formal cost per unit in benin distribution company = 14.82 with an increament of 9.26per kwh brings the new tarrif to 24.08kw/h now dey scrapped fixed charge... of #750 last month i bought a #4000 worth card and was charged fixed charge of #2250 for 3 month and a credit of 105kw/h worth #1559.52 after vat has been taken... with d new tarrif of 24.08; #4000 worth would be 157.8kw/h.... as against 105.kw/h for just #1559. Now for those praising d removal of the fixed charge; hope u now understand? .. APC just want to do nigerians the more u look the less you see |

What is fixed charges compared to what has just been added as increase in tariff? That increase is damn too high for crying out aloud. Over 60% increase @ a time. This is total hardship, extortion & sheer exploitation. It's like removing a thorn from ur flesh and piercing u with glowing nail. 3 Likes |

Even apc supporters are suffering seriously in this smelly change but they cannot complain or wail because they we will attack them if they do. The ones I met at lagos last week were hailing me welcoming me to my hood in anticipation of crumbs for them, but all I gave them instead was continuous shouts of 'SAI BABA'!!! |
