Why is AEDC Trending?

AEDC (Abuja Electricity Distribution Company) is trending nationwide after the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) slammed a N628 million fine on eight electricity distribution companies, including AEDC, for overbilling unmetered customers.

According to NERC, these electricity providers were found guilty of violating customer protection guidelines by billing customers without meters above the allowed cap. This act, which many Nigerians have long complained about, led to unfair charges and increased financial pressure on consumers already battling with unstable power supply.

The commission made it clear that the affected DisCos must refund the overbilled amounts and take necessary steps to compensate customers appropriately. AEDC, alongside Eko Disco and others, is expected to adhere to new billing practices moving forward or face stricter sanctions.

Consumers have taken to social media to support the move, calling it long overdue and a step towards greater accountability in the Nigerian power sector. Many hope this action will not only provide justice but also improve service delivery and speed up the metering process across the country.

AEDC is trending because Nigerians are finally seeing some form of justice in the electricity billing system.
