- The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has introduced fines ranging from N100,000 to N300,000 for electricity consumers who bypass their prepaid meters or engage in illegal connections, with different penalties for different customer categories.
- The amended order aims to reduce unauthorized access to electricity, meter tampering, and by-pass, aligning with the Electricity Act 2023 and Customer Protection Regulations 2023 to establish transparent reconnection guidelines and ensure compliance to combat energy theft in the power sector.
