Meter Costs Spark DisCos–FG Showdown on Tariffs

The Federal Government has ordered that prepaid electricity meters under the World Bank–supported metering programme be installed free of charge for consumers. DisCos, however, resist, citing installation costs and unclear tariff recovery. The government insists meter costs are part of broader tariff structures and must not be charged upfront. Analysts warn that lack of clarity on cost allocation could worsen the financial strain on distribution companies, even as consumers await improved billing transparency.
