NERC says DisCos Received N207bn Revenue from N258bn Billed in December

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) says power distribution companies (DisCos) generated N207.49 billion revenue in December 2025.

NERC announced the revenue in its ‘DisCos commercial performance fact sheet’ for December 2025.

According to the report, December’s revenue recorded a slight decline of 0.02 percent from the N208.78 billion reported in November 2025.

NERC said the revenue was generated after DisCos issued customer bills totaling N258.66 billion during the month.

The commission also highlighted that December billing fell by 4 percent compared to the N269.43 billion billed in November.

Despite this, collection efficiency saw a marginal increase, rising to 80.22 percent in December from 77.49 percent the previous month.

The factsheet further indicated that the total value of energy received by DisCos in December was N309.65 billion, representing a 9.54 percent decrease from N342.29 billion in November.

According to NERC, Eko electricity distribution company (DisCo) recorded the strongest revenue recovery performance at 99.45 percent, reflecting near full recovery of allowed revenues.

“Yola (87.89 percent), Ikeja (85.32 percent), and Abuja (84.43 percent) also delivered strong recovery performance,” the commission said

“Benin (71.36 percent), Ibadan (73.19 percent), Enugu (73.50 percent), and Port Harcourt (79.29 percent) recorded moderate recovery levels.”

According to NERC, the figures provide a clear insight into how efficiently DisCos are billing, collecting, and recovering revenue — key indicators for enhancing liquidity and improving service delivery across the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
