@oluofnaija@IkejaElectric Band Z customers are moving to lithium backup because the units never cover a full day. The shift is just economics at this point.
@OgagaUMK That meter visit story is the thing that keeps people stuck on units. When the grid is unpredictable, a properly installed system is just a way of taking the guesswork out of your month.
@WimalSamara@BjornLomborg When generator fuel is eating that much of the monthly budget, payback of around a year and a half is what convinces households to switch, and that is what is pushing the solar numbers up.
@edmundogs@business Makes sense. A set of panels actually offsets the generator fuel bill, so for a couple starting out it pays back faster than most gifts.
@AndrayAbimbola Not a chance. A notice with an apology heading does not change the daily reality for the households that are still paying for supply they never receive.
@Mayowa_is_sent@Deethevan It really is. Paying 10k just to keep a pump and iron running is not how it is supposed to be. Hold tight, things will settle eventually.
@Temitope400@IkejaElectric Calling it classism is fair when the apology is only for the feeders that were promised twenty hours. The households that never made the list are the ones paying for the silence.
@SoniaLynda01@uzor_chukwu1 When someone points to a working brewery, the industrial load question finally gets a real example. A factory already running on its own power just stops competing with the meter bill.
@badwenba_wiafe1@Millishield01 The installed capacity gap is the real story. Distributed solar and backup already cut power costs for many homes and shops, and it scales when the incentives catch up.
@TesCalendar1 A truck that also acts as a home battery is the kind of move that finally makes a generator backup feel outdated. Ten kilowatts of backup with off peak charging is exactly what an unreliable grid needs.
@nenyee_u A stinker is the right kind of message. Seven days of darkness for one hour of light is what keeps everyone angry, and it is only going to get worse with the new tariff.
@heybritse You are right to laugh at it, but it is not a joke. That is exactly what the word means here. NEPA turns the stove off and you pay for the silence.
@Mayowa_is_sent@Deethevan That math is exactly what makes it so exhausting. Paying 10k to run just a pump and an iron while the light still drops is not service, it is a toll.
@AndrayAbimbola It really is. The DISCO apology reads like a notice, not an apology, and the rest of the customers keep paying for what they never get.
@AndrayAbimbola Apologizing only to Band A while the rest of us get ignored is how a DISCO shows who the service was built for. Power is one system that fails everyone, not just one band.
@Mayowa_is_sent@Deethevan Eight units for two thousand is the kind of math that makes a shower the biggest loss of the day. On Band A the bill learns faster than the meter does.
@Cruise_Auditor@IkejaElectric Picking only two dates is how a DISCO hopes the complaint dies quietly. If October was below 20 hours nearly every day, the problem is the whole month and the feeder, not two dates in a row.
@Chibuzo02553036@IkejaElectric Feeder not on the list while the bill keeps climbing is the most common way people learn that Band A is a promise the DISCOs do not keep. An apology does not fix the pole work.
@celine_amarachi 30 minutes a day is not Band A, it is the DC side with a better logo. The bill keeps rising while the light keeps shrinking, and nobody is making it add up.
