Nigeria electricity regulatory comm

Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
has directed distribution companies to restructure
their fixed charges so that subscribers do not pay
for electricity they do not consume.
The directive is in line with a resolution passed
by the Senate for the Commission to look into
complaints by electricity consumers over
indiscriminate billing.
The distribution companies have also been
directed to discontinue the practice of bulk
metering.
In a seven-page response to the Senate’s
directive, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission said it had told the distribution
companies to restructure the fixed charges.
The chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Commission, Sam Amadi, who signed the letter,
said even though the fixed charges were not
illegal, the commission had been able to
intervene in the matter.
On the vexed issue of bulk metering of
customers, the Commission said it totally agreed
with the Senate on the need to eliminate the
sharp practice.
Mr. Amadi added that the Commission has,
however, provided a leeway for estimation in
situations where residential meters are not.
