The 12 electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) in the country collected total bills of N191.75 billion in February 2025, according to the latest Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) factsheet.
The NERC Factsheet for February 2025 released on Wednesday, showed that collection efficiency rose to 77.97 per cent , marking a 6.56 per cent increase compared to previous month.

The DisCo’s key performance metrics as indicated in the factsheet showed that total billings for the month was 245.93 billion, while revenue collected stood at 191.75 billion.

Also the Disco’s billing efficiency increased to 82.73 per cent while recovery efficiency stood at 75.92 per cent.

However Allowed Average Tariff for the month was 116.18/kWh while Actual Average Collection: stood at ₦88.21/kWh

Compared to previous months, February saw a slight uptick in collection efficiency, but the sector still faces a significant gap between what is billed and what is actually collected, with over ₦54 billion uncollected. This shortfall continues to threaten the financial health of the power sector, limiting investments in infrastructure and service reliability.

The performance sheet showed that top performers for the month were Eko and Abuja DisCos leading in both billing and collection efficiency, consistently above 80 per cent

On the other hand, Kaduna and Jos continued to struggle, with collection efficiencies below 65 per cent, highlighting persistent revenue risks.

Operational Impact: Low collection rates restrict investments in network upgrades and affect payments to power generators, perpetuating unreliable supply.

Many customers, especially those on estimated billing, complain about high charges despite erratic supply.

While billing and collection efficiencies have seen marginal improvements, Nigeria’s DisCos must address persistent revenue shortfalls to ensure sector sustainability. Without significant gains in collection and recovery, the cycle of underinvestment and poor supply is likely to continue
