Nigeria’s electricity Distribution Companies (Discos) collected N208.15 billion from customer billings of N252.87 billion in May 2026, translating to a collection efficiency of 82.32 per cent, according to the latest commercial performance factsheet released by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
The report showed that although the utilities marginally increased the amount billed during the month, their ability to recover the full value of electricity supplied weakened, as overall revenue recovery efficiency declined to 77.31 per cent from the previous month.
