Prepaid Meter: Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission Approves Upwards Price Increase

He added that the firm would first clear backlogs of old orders made about two-three months ago before attending to fresh orders.

According to him, electricity customers who had paid the old prices before the newly released prices by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, would be metered without additional payment, while fresh orders would attract new meter prices.

 He said, “We can assure you that MAPs has brought in new meters and customers will start getting their meters in the coming week and beyond. But the focus would first be on those that had ordered about two/three months ago at old prices. For those that had paid old prices, no additional payment would be required from them before they get their meters. But new orders would carry the new prices.”
