Nigeria Electricity Distribution companies are cheating their customers! (1)

Nigeria Electricity Distribution companies are cheating their customers! (1)
 For the umpteenth time, I have been fighting to have a meter provided for my residence, having paid for the meter since 2010 without success. But it is glaring that the Discos will continue to raid and reap off customers through their current billing system which is not transparent but also pinching.  The discos openly claims they have metered the transformers and that it's based on what they captured from that point that they end up sharing for customers.
 This billing system only serves to alienate the registered customers due to over billing at the expense of the unregistered service users on the grid, this invariably implies that those who are registered are forced to pay for the unregistered user. Another angle to it, is that Discos staff keep smiling home whenever they come out to carry out power cut through disconnection of customers supplies,
as customers not registered only have to grease their palms.
If indeed they the Discos and Federal government are serious about metering all users, by now all residence supposed to have been served  with application forms to kick start the process of capturing customer data which could lead to reflective usage billing.
 To be concluded.

Nigeria Electricity Distribution Companies are cheating their customers! (2) In a recent article posted on Linkedin by By Ndubuisi E., he observed that the Discos are rejecting loads of power allocated to them by the Gencos( you can follow the link to read the article @ https://lnkd.in/dNMsJVR https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6314411422042320896 This did not come as a surprise to many of us following the trend in that sector, given the fact that the inability of the Discos to provide meter to customers did not prevent them from exploiting customers by continuing to bill such customers at randomly increasing consumption level. The question here is, What parameter did the Discos/ NERC use to arrived at the minimum billing/consumption rate to be allocated to each houses. Another development that has been observed most especially in Lagos is the mounting of the so called smart meters on the poles to ironically aid Lagos to quickly attain its "Smart city...
