By Obas Esiedesa, AbujaElectricity consumers across Nigeria paid a total of N208.15 billion for power supplied in May 2026, as electricity distribution companies (DisCos) improved their revenue collection efficiency despite a decline in billing efficiency. This is contained in the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Commercial Performance Factsheet for May 2026 which also showed that the DisCos received electricity worth N328.95 billion during the month, representing an 8.58 per cent increase from April. The report, however, indicated an improvement in revenue collection, with the industry recording a collection efficiency of 82.32 per cent, up 1.66 percentage points from April. The improvement enabled the 11 electricity distribution companies to collect N208.15 billion from customers during the month, a 2.23 per cent increase over the previous month’s collections. NERC also reported that the industry’s revenue recovery efficiency stood at 77.31 per cent in May, reflecting the proportion of the allowable revenue recovered by the DisCos.
