A friend said he was charged 4000 for 74.8 kw/h unit, his DISCO is ikeja electric and he is a 3 phase residential customer. I think this is outrageous.

JubrinElSudan:
It depends on your Disco. All Discos don't charge a flat rate, maybe you will get the tariffs of each discos on NERC website, alternatively you can tweet IIkejaelectric

BEDC which is in charge of my area charges #31.26 per kwh for Single phase residential customers

obaataaokpaewu:
Minusing 5% of the 4k for VAT will leave you with #3800. Now #3800 divided by 74.8 is about 50.8kwh per unit. Which is on a highhhhhh side for a unit of energy for a 3 phase residential customer. Unless maybe the meter is owing some debts which Ikeja deducts each time he vends.

Dclique:


He wasn't owing, some agents are just fraudster. God help this country.

obaataaokpaewu:
lol
Agents kwa? Will it be possible for someone to print an MTN airtime of #150 instead of #200 and sell? Having worked in a disco, no agent is cheating him, the disco generates the token your friend recharges, not an agent.
Sometimes some persons will be "aggrieved " on the basis of ignorance. When I was with them, one village that are on bulk ppm recharged #200,000 and it got exhausted sooner than they expected and they turned around and blamed my colleague that loaded the card on their meter. I checked the vending slip and I saw that everything was okay, no cheating, no debt deducted but it turned out they couldn't manage the energy(Nigerians know how to waste energy with 100/200 watts incandescent bulbs), but being villagers, they no wan hear Wetin I dey talk, dem still believe say my colleague scam them

I got 436.9 kw/h units for N10,000 which seems fair

I just recharged my pre-paid meter for the first time since installation in April/May.

I was made to understand that my first recharge would be at least 10,000naira as i needed to offset the units i had been using for the past 5months.

So, afer paying 10,000naira, i was given a slip containing the token. The slip reflect that i had paid a debt of 7,200naira, and that the remaining 2,800naira (VAT inclusive) got me 111.2units.

Diving 2,800naira by 111.2units gives circa 24naira/kwh. I think thats what i am being charged per unit.

I made this subscription last week Thursday, and i just checked my machine now and discovered that i use an average of 1.3kwh daily, and i am not even efficient with energy as i have 2 units of 100watts yellow bulb plus an 80watts deep freezer that was left on all through the weekend. For an area that boasts of an average of 14hours light daily, thats not bad.

So, if i divide 104.7 (my remaining units) by 1.3, that means i will have 80days until the unit gets exhausted. I am really enjoying this. Maybe i will just buy 10,000naira worth of units (almost 400units), topup and forget all about PHCN light issue for at least a year while i work out an alternate source of electricity for the period of power failure

I am reporting from EKEDC.

Cheers guys!

JubrinElSudan:
Just chill and buy the #10000 in December, since there will be tariff increment by next year and try to change the 100w bulbs to energy saving bulbs

Okwenna:
I bought N10,000.00 from Ikeja electric online and I got just 168.50 kW/h? Please is this fair?

LadyJackie:


No, 10k is supposed to be about 420units.

I guess you have debt on your account so it was deducted from there.

mathsguru:

Please guys, how many units will #12600 bought and how many days should that last? Someone said atmost 7weeks please how true is that??

JubrinElSudan:
it is just like data but in this case, data is on 247. If you manage the energy , it can last you for months. What's the availability of your area? On an average, what's the average hours you get light daily?

adechi:
