NERC sanctions 11 DisCos over estimated bills

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has sanctioned 11 electricity distribution companies (DisCos) for non-compliance with capping of estimated bills for customers.

The commission disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

NERC said a review of the DisCos billing of unmetered customers for 2023 had revealed non-compliance with the monthly energy caps initiated in 2020.
