The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), said that a total of 148,389 meters have been installed in Quarter 3, 2023, across the country.
According to NERC, this represents a decrease of 32,670 installations compared to the 181,059 meters installed in Q2, 2023.
The commission said this in its Q3, 2023, report pasted on its website on Saturday.
The report showed that during the period under review; 147,736 meters installed under the Meter Asset Provider (MAP} framework while 207 other installations recorded under the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP).
NERC said the vendor financed framework recorded 446 meter installations while no meter installations had been recorded under the DisCo Financed framework.
The commission said that it expected Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to utilise any of the five meter financing frameworks provided in the 2021 MAP and NMMP to close their respective metering gaps.
”As a safeguard for customers against exploitation due to the lack of meters, the commission has continued to issue monthly energy caps for all feeders in each DisCo.
”This sets the maximum amount of energy that may be billed to an unmetered customer for the respective month based on gross energy received by the DisCo and consumption by metered customers,” it said.(NAN)www.nannews.ng)
