The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission NERC has placed limits on estimated bills that can be issued by electricity distribution companies to unmetered customers.
NERC said it had cancelled the Estimated Billing Methodology Regulation as a basis for computing the consumption of unmetered customers by the Discos.
It further disclosed that it has streamlined the capping of estimated bills in the Nigerian electricity supply industry which it said took effect from February 20, 2020.
The commission said all unmetered R2 and C1 customers should not be invoiced for the consumption of energy beyond the cap stipulated by it.
R2 customers are residential customers who consume more than fifty kilowatt per hour in a month, single phase and three-phase, while C1 customers are small businesses single and three-phase.
