FG Orders Distribution Companies To Meter High Consumers Before November 30

The Federal Government has directed that all higher consumers known as Maximum Demand (MD) customers be metered by the 11 electricity Distribution companies (Discos) before November 30, 2016.

A statement from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) said the directive to meter their MD customers within the specified period is without prejudice to metering all classes of electricity customers according to their performance agreement.

The Acting Chairman, NERC, Dr. Anthony Akah who provided further insight into the directive said that default from any Disco would attract sanctions from December 1.

He explained that any MD customer who was willing to subscribe to the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Initiative (CAPMI) during the moratorium period should be allowed, the statement said.
