SUMMARY

Many electric energy consumers’ premises are not metered. Accordingly estimated bills are sent to them. In some cases, meters are not read, but bills are still sent to consumers. This study showed that the estimated bills by PHCN sent to consumers, without meters is on the high side. It is very necessary for consumers to be billed for the actual energy consumed. That PHCN should ensure that all consumer premises are metered and accordingly when meters are not available PHCN should examine our work and do their own study and come to accurate figures for billing consumers.
