Electricity consumers on estimated billing to pay less

Electricity consumers across the country who are on estimated billing are to pay lesser than their counterparts who have been provided with metres, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has said.

Chairman of NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, who disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, said a new regulation was underway to compel electricity distribution companies to provide metres to all their customers within four months or accept a cap on what they can charge on estimated billing.
