About these electricity guides
Prepaid electricity raises the same questions in every home: why the meter rejected a token, what your tariff band means for your hours of supply, how to get a new meter, and what to do when you paid but no token came.
These guides cover the DisCos across Nigeria, from Ikeja Electric and Eko to IBEDC and AEDC: buying tokens, reading meter error messages, the MAP meter scheme, bands A to E and the compensation and refund rules set by NERC.
Where a rule comes from a regulator, the article names the order and its date so you can check it yourself.
