Electricity Distribution Companies (Discos) in Nigeria collected ₦553.63 billion in revenue during the first quarter of 2025, according to the latest data released by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
The amount represents 74.39% collection efficiency of the ₦744.27 billion total billing issued to electricity consumers nationwide between January and March 2025.
According to the Q1 2025 NERC report, Eko Disco achieved the highest collection efficiency at 84.79%, while Jos Disco had the lowest, at 47.19%.
Out of the country’s 11 Discos, only Kano (up 6.55%), Abuja (up 4.81%), and Enugu (up 0.72%) improved their collection efficiency compared to Q4 2024.
In contrast, eight Discos saw declines. Notably, Port Harcourt Disco’s efficiency dropped by 15.11%, Kaduna by 7.12%, and Eko by 5.21%, despite its top overall position.
NERC emphasised the importance of improved billing and revenue collection practices in sustaining power sector reforms and financing investments in grid stability, metering, and service delivery.
The Commission is expected to intensify its monitoring of Disco performance as part of efforts to enhance transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s electricity sector.
