Can Customer Be Charged For Electricity Even After Disconnection

DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 284)

CAN CUSTOMER BE CHARGED FOR ELECTRICITY EVEN AFTER
DISCONNECTION.

Every user of electricity in any part of Nigeria, has a Right to
Request for Disconnection from electricity at any time of the year.
Duration a period that a customer requested for a disconnection
from the electricity Distribution Company (DisCo) in charge of his
area, such a customer can no longer be charged/billed for
electricity, whether or not such disconnection was done. It is
illegal for any DisCo to charge or request for payment for a period
a customer was disconnected. Kindly report such illegal demands and
practises to Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) or
speak to your lawyer.

My authorities are Regulations 8 and 14 of the Nigerian
Electricity Regulatory Commission’s Connection and Disconnection
Procedures for Electricity Services, 2007.
