Something happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I always got 20 units for 1k naira, but 2 weeks ago they gave me 63 units for 1k and last week I got 43 units for 1k. A few days ago it went back to normal 20 units
Have you ever received any compensation for the shortfalls?

Yes, very likely. You may contact your DisCo to verify.
Replying to @TheGridPost
I noticed when I recharged the last time that I was given additional unit, instead of the normal 44 units, I received 56 units. That means I was given extra 12 units. I don't know if that is a valid compensation for the amount of short changing we are receiving...

Replying to @TheGridPost
Band A is the only band getting compensated? So Band B and C that doesn’t get the stipulated hours in the contract what happens?

PUBLIC NOTICE NERC Approves Special Compensation for Eligible Band A Customers Affected by Grid Generation Constraints The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) hereby notifies electricity consumers and stakeholders of the issuance of Directive No. NERC/2026/002 on the Special Compensation of Band A Customers Arising from Grid Generation Constraints. The directive was introduced in recognition of the significant generation shortfalls experienced across the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) between February and March 2026, which affected the ability of Distribution Companies (DisCos) to meet the committed service levels for some Band A customers. The shortfalls were largely attributed to inadequate gas supply and vandalism of critical gas and transmission infrastructure, factors beyond the direct operational control of the DisCos. Key Provisions of the Directive: - Coverage Period: The compensation scheme applies to the period covering February 2026 to March 2026. - Compensation for Feeders with 18–20 Hours Supply: Where a Band A feeder recorded an average daily supply of between 18 and 20 hours, the existing compensation framework under Addendum No. NERC/2024/003 shall apply to both Maximum Demand (MD) and Non-Maximum Demand (Non-MD) customers. - Special Compensation for Feeders with Less Than 18 Hours Supply * Affected Band A feeders will not be downgraded during the covered period. * Eligible customers will receive special compensation as follows: > Non-MD Customers: Compensation equivalent to 20% of the approved February 2026 energy cap applicable to the affected feeder. > MD Customers: Compensation equivalent to 20% of the average energy billed per MD customer in February 2026. Mode of Compensation - Prepaid customers will receive compensation through token credits. - Postpaid customers will receive compensation through bill adjustments. Implementation Timeline - Compensation for February 2026 shall be completed no later than 31 May 2026. - Compensation for March 2026 shall be completed no later than 30 June 2026. Customer Protection - Distribution Companies are prohibited from offsetting compensation credits against any existing customer debt. - Customers must be clearly informed of the value and period of compensation received. NERC remains committed to protecting electricity consumers while ensuring the stability and sustainability of the electricity market. The Commission will continue to monitor implementation and verify compliance by Distribution Companies to ensure all eligible customers receive the compensation due to them.

What is this compensation of shortfall you’re always mumbling about? How do they compensate by giving extra hours or by reducing your tariff or by giving extra units for whatever you buy? What is the compensation structure and how does one know they are being compensated?

DisCos were recently directed by @NERCNG to give compensation for persistent shortfalls. If it becomes chronic, your Feeder may need to be downgraded.

Have you ever received any compensation for the shortfalls?
Replying to @TheGridPost
Not at all. On average, I think we are getting about 13hrs per day, and that's me being generous. I have complained. We pay for band A, while getting band C services. And no where to go and sick redress. This is at eliminigwe estate, elelenwo, Port Harcourt, rivers state

Hence the recapitalization. If it comes first.... Key KPIs would be that DisCos now upgrade and expand their infrastructure. This will definitely have a cascading effect in their ability to accept and distribute more power hence more revenue. Customers would on the interim experience less outages caused by localized faults, stop being extorted for payments for meters, poles, transformers and all what-not.
Cost reflective tariffs are essential to attracting investors into the sector. However, stakeholders should be held accountable if after restructuring and post-tariff increments, they are still unable to provide the needed power

I am afraid the reality says otherwise. Expecting 22 hours to all customers before cost reflective tarrif is probably untenable. Recapitalization, restructuring, reprivatization may agreeably need to come first but cost reflective tarrif should follow up immediately.
Replying to @TheGridPost
Tarrif increment should be the last item on the agenda Nigerians should have at least 22 hours of power a day All Service Providers should be paying penalties for failed services as agreed in the SLA Metering should attain at least 95% There tarrif change can be considered

Yes, reviewing the privatisation, recapitalization, delicensing or restructuring of DisCos. Then implementing a cost reflective Tarrif across board to make the sector more investor friendly. Government may decide to apply subsidies to the less privileged consumers. The aim will be a market driven lower reflective tarrif on the long term.

The sale was not a mistake, the manner in which it was done is the problem.

WHY WE HAD TO GO FULLY SOLAR — Aso Rock Aso Rock’s move to solar was driven by what officials described as an unsustainable annual electricity cost of about ₦47 billion. The Presidential Villa was scheduled to transition largely away from the National Grid by March 2026 through an independent solar power system.
