Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) collected a total of ₦564.71 billion in revenue during the second quarter of 2025, reflecting an improvement in collection efficiency, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
The figure represents 76.07 per cent of the ₦742.34 billion billed to customers during the period, marking a modest rise from the ₦553.63 billion collected in the first quarter — equivalent to 74.39 per cent efficiency.
“This indicates a 1.68 percentage point increase in aggregate collection efficiency between Q1 and Q2 2025,” NERC stated in its latest quarterly report released on Tuesday.
Among the utilities, Eko DisCo maintained the lead with the highest collection efficiency of 87.8 per cent, while Jos DisCo ranked lowest at 43.82 per cent.
The regulator noted that Port Harcourt, Benin, Ikeja, Ibadan, Eko, and Yola DisCos all recorded improvements in revenue collection, while Abuja and Jos DisCos saw the most notable declines during the period under review.
NERC said it will continue to monitor performance trends and enforce compliance to ensure financial sustainability in the power distribution segment.
