This is why most of these DISCOs hate prepaid meter. They'll keep frustrating prepaid meter distribution till they milk Nigerians to death with their crazy estimated billing methods.

Have you been served this month's bill? If yes. Let's see how much. Reports reaching our ears says discos are doubling infact trippling the bills...for what na?

Last month it was announced that customers shouldn't pay more than expected, isn't? So why are the discos hiking the price of electricity this month?

This is an estimated billing for March amount was times 2 of the previous amount...for an area that can't boast of reasonable supply of electricity in a day. Which way Nigeria? Which way PHEDC? Exploitation! Robbing the masses!

Eko customers, Ikeja customers, Adamawa customers, Enugu customers etc how far? How much were you billed this March?

How many hours of light do you have in a day? Why did you hide your account no. Where do yiu live? Before you talk of exploitation let us know this details

Send an irate customer's email to the customer care of the electricity distribution you are under.
Copy complaints@nerc.gov.ng and info@nerc.gov.ng.
Also attach proofs (current and previous bills) if possible.

Don't worry, the email has no unique format. Just make sure you pour out your anger. Ranting is also encouraged.

Thank God for prepaid meter oooo. I don't exhaust #4,000 worth of energy in a month, in an area with average of 12hrs supply in a day.
With appliances like freezer, fridge, water pumping machine. etc except A/C.
My previous estimated bill before I got the prepaid was between #13,000 to #15,000.

When did you get your prepaid and do you have any connection if one chooses to get it at the moment?

Some of you here upload your two year debt after not paying any bills and post here making it look like that’s your current bill. I saw a monthly bill of 4K+ and a debt of over 50,000

I thought the NERC directives took effect from 20th February 2020,if yes,then we should be expecting the changes to reflect against the April bills. The March bill y'all talking about is for the energy consumed in February.

Infact in my resident, IBEDC brought almost 20,000 for February bill whereas they brought 3,100 in January. I complained but was told it was the reading on the meter, I then asked why January bill was far lesser, I was told it was estimated. What I noticed is that the DISCOs want to put the burden of NERC sanction of not billing unmetered houses more than 1800 on the customers with meters. My advise is for all not to keep quiet on this issue or else all monthly salaries will be gulp by paying electricity not enjoyed but tag consumed. This country is hypocritical on its masses.

I just keep thinking, what would it cost the government to provide prepaid meters for everyone?
What kind of bad leadership do we have in this country?

What rubbish are you saying. It is now owned by the Discos and not Governments property. Government provided them with intervention funds thrice and nothing was done by the Discos
