What you should know

  • The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently released its framework for the financing of the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP), as well as the local meter manufacturers to close the estimated 10 million metering gap.
  • The key objectives of the NMMP include increasing Nigeria’s metering rate, elimination of arbitrary estimated billing, strengthening the local meter value chain by increasing local meter manufacturing, assembly, and deployment capacity.
  • The programme is well intended to support Nigeria’s economic recovery efforts by creating more jobs in the local meter value-chain and reducing collection losses, as well as, increasing financial flows to achieve 100% market remittance obligations of the Discos.
  • The Federal Government’s National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) obligates all the electricity distribution companies (Discos) to fully meter all their customers
  • Customers who had earlier paid for meters under the MAP Regulations shall be refunded through energy credits over a period not exceeding five years
  • The payment for meters by customers through upfront payments or monthly Meter Service Charge as provided in the subsisting MAP regulation shall cease.

    What about those who have already paid since August, why were they not metred as promised during the initial payment. Are there going to be among those that will receive metres?

    I will advise people with outstanding balance from #100,000 upward to collect the Meters but decline it’s installation until government/ NERC / NELCO cancel the fictitious Debit Balances always called” Debt” on the ground that the outstanding are largely accruals from agelong artificially overinflated, unmetered estimated billing malpractices by Disco’s since regimen of defunct NEPA, PHCN and since take over by Disco’s since November 2013. That so called Debit are fictitious and are therefore contingent liabilities that NELCO must write off or reconcile robust SOA Reconciliation
