The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has issued an amended Order detailing new threshold of penalties for customers and Distribution Companies (DIsCos) on “Unauthorised Access, Meter Tampering, and By-Pass.”
In a statement, the Amended Order, which replaces Order No: NERC/REG/41/2017, became effective since January 22, 2025.
This amendment, the regulator said, “aligns with the Electricity Act 2023 and the Customer Protection Regulations (CPR) 2023, which allow Distribution Companies (DisCos) to disconnect unauthorised connections without notice and prescribe reconnection conditions.
