hehehehe......Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has stated that electricity consumers that were not provided with prepaid meters as at March 1 to stop paying electricity bills presented by Distribution Companies (DISCOs) on the basis of estimated billing methodology.
The commission also ordered the DISCOs not to disconnect any such customer that refuses to pay the bills and further advised such customers to report to the commission if disconnected.
NERC added that the sanction was sequel to the expiration of the initial directives by NERC and the moratorium period given to DISCOs to meter consumers.
The statement reads in part: “A directive was issued to distribution companies by the Commission in June 2016 for all MD customers to be metered by 30 November 2016.
“Upon due consideration of facts above and the expiration of the compliance deadline granted to distribution companies on the metering of MD customers; the Commission hereby directs as follows;
“1. Any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 shall not pay any electricity bill presented by a distribution company on the basis of estimated billing methodology and these customers are advised to report this to the Commission.
“3. Any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 should notify the Commission directly on:
