Metering Of Customers Not Exclusive Right Of Discos – Fashola by nwakibie3(m): 4:19pm On Aug 14, 2017 |
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), said on Monday nothing in the Electricity Power Sector Reform Act gives electricity distribution companies (DisCos) the exclusivity of metering in the sector. He said the Federal Government has commenced the disbursement of N701 billion electricity intervention funds to beneficiaries. According to him, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the release of N31 billion to Discos for metering in the power sector. He spoke at the 18th Monthly Power Sector and Stakeholders’ meeting in Kumboso, Kano State. The minister said: “Another action which took place is the FEC approval of the component that frozen the federal government of the judgement debt of N119billion and also released N39billion towards the supply of meters to DisCos. Stressing that nothing hinders other investors from metering electricity consumers, Fashola said “while it is true that Discos have the obligation to meter customers, the law does not vest the monopoly of meter supply to the DisCos. “Anybody who qualifies under the safety regulation by NEMSA and under the licenses issued by NERC can supply meters to customers under conditions approved by law. In other words, meter supply is an open but regulated business. “You need the license from NERC to undertake it. You need to comply with testing and safety standards of NEMSA to produce, install or import the meters. But it is not a monopoly for Discos alone.” The minister said he has received inquiries on whether state governments could produce their own power. “Nothing in the Electric Sector Power Reform Act stops any state from doing so. What they need is to get the right license from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC),” he added. http://thenationonlineng.net/metering-of-customers-not-exclusive-right-of-discos-fashola/ 11 Likes 3 Shares

Some interesting stuff. If it's an open market to buy meters that should mean non metered customers can buy it from licensed seller. Now who are the current licensed dealers? Front Page: lalasticlala 13 Likes 1 Share |

Fashola defending his thieving DISCOS again ..If metering is not a responsible of a service provider who's responsibility is it then ? This is like saying metering is not the responsibility of of a petrol station , Fashola for your information metering is only beneficial to the DISCO so customer pay for exactly what they use except ofcourse on Nigeria where Fashola allows them to sell darkness under the guise of estimated billing , Fashola has just confirmed that estimated bills will still be around for some time 7 Likes 1 Share |

SalamRushdie: He gave the DISCOs N31 billion to supply meters and he's also preventing the DISCOs from monopolizing or sabotaging the metering system by allowing 3 parties to participate in the metering system. The man was actually on the side of the public, read again and comprehend. 36 Likes |

As for the generation of power by states, the point is not for states to produce their own power. It is a question of whether they can transmit and consume it locally (within the state)? These are the type of technicalities Fashola didn't fully grasp as Lagos Governor. He has started showing same as a minister. 3 Likes |

If NERC n FG are sincere, they should licence willing suppliers and importers of meters so that we can easily get the product at a fee, instead of waiting for eternity on the promise of the DISCOs to meter customers for free wc has never been implemented all in the bid to keep swindling the electricity consumers through crazy estimated bills. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Fashola, the meters JED (JOS ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION) are installing for their customers are not ok. since when did the laws of Physics Changed? 1000w for 60mins on those meters is 1.6kWh instead of 1kWh.

is this not a continuation of the fascism of Jonathan? Why do we keep giving tax payers money to private business. If the DISCOS cannot supply ordinary meter to their customers, withdraw their license. If obasanjo had privatised the telecommunications sector like Jonathan did with electricity sector, we would probably be paying monthly levy for mast today 5 Likes |
