NEMSA Explains Why Electricity Meters Are Running Faster In Nigeria

Complaints that electricity meters are now running faster is on the increase and the Nigeria Electricity Management Service Agency (NEMSA) has offered an explanation that says it observed that power supply in the country has increase.

According to its Managing Director, Engr. Peter Ewesor, the manner of meter installation also determine its functionality.

Speaking during the opening ceremony of the specialized technical training for NEMSA’s Engineers and Technical officers holding at NAPTIN, Abuja, he pointed out that lack of good earthing could make a meter read a fault as a load for the consumer to pay more than what he consumes.

The Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation said “people are complaining that their meters are running, they have forgotten that power supply has increased. If you were using power only three hours before, now you have power for six hours or 15 hours it is a multiplication of the number of hours you were using.”

Ewesor added that some customer’s meters are reading their generator plant loads because of bad installation.

He said because of the anticipation of excessive supply of meters into the country, owing to the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) regulation of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) the agency has already started remodeling and equipping its meter test stations in Kaduna to test the meters
