Revoke Licences Of Discos Charging Outrageous Bills, FCCPC Urges NERC

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) on Monday mandated the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to revoke the licences of electricity Distribution Companies (Discos) that are over billing unmetered customers.

The order by FCCPC was given, after NERC in various regulatory interventions for non-compliance with the Order on Capping of Estimated Billing to Unmetered Customers, issued to 11 Discos, established that the power distributors recorded over N105bn as a result of over-billing.
