The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has kicked off a new metering scheme in which customers are to pay for meters known as the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI).
The Commission has
directed electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) to commence
implementation of the new metering scheme today after the initial plan
to meter consumers freely failed.
The Commission explained
that it adopted the CAPMI initiative due to the slow pace of customer
metering by the DISCOs as well as the high level of complaints received
from customers and dissatisfaction with the current estimated billing
practices.
This is even as the
Commission has ordered the Discos to immediately begin the supply of
electricity meters paid for by customers dating back to January 2011.
