The Consumer Protection Council and the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
on Tuesday agreed to enforce the mandatory 60-day order to electricity
distribution companies to either meter or stop billing their customers
under the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Implementation scheme.
| Acting Chairman, NERC, Dr. Anthony Akah |
NERC
had, in its recent directive to the companies, directed that any
customer who elected to procure meters under the CAPMI scheme must be
metered within 60 days.
It said any distribution company that
failed to achieve this would lose the power to bill or disconnect
electricity supply to such customers.
