Power distribution companies in the Federal Republic of Nigeria metered 70,888 new electricity customers in August 2025, bringing the total number of metered customers across all DisCos to 11.98 million.
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) disclosed this in its Metering Factsheet for July and August 2025.
According to the data, 70,888 customers were metered in August, compared to 76,783 in July — reflecting ongoing metering efforts across the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
As of July 2025, the active customer population across all DisCos stood at 11.89 million.
With 70,888 customers metered in August, the active customer population has increased to 11.98 million.
“Out of this figure, 6.58 million customers were metered, resulting in a metering rate of 55.01 per cent, which represents a slight increase from 54.71 per cent recorded in July,” the report stated.
The factsheet listed the top-performing DisCos as Eko (84.25 per cent), Ikeja (84.83 per cent), and Abuja (73.92 per cent).
It added that these figures highlight gradual progress in closing Nigeria’s metering gap and improving transparency and billing accuracy for electricity consumers.
