The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission states that Electricity Distribution Companies installed 225,631 meters in the Second Quarter of 2025.
NERC said this in its second quarter report posted on its website in Abuja on Tuesday.
The report said that the figure represented an increase of 20.55 per cent compared to the 187,161 meters installed in the first quarter of 2025.
It stated that during the period, 147,823 meters, representing 65.52 per cent of the total installation, were installed under the Meter Asset Provider framework.
According to the report, 5,315 meters have been installed under the Meter Acquisition Fund, while 12,259 meters have been installed under the vendor-financed framework.
”Two hundred and thirty-four meters were installed under the DisCo-financed framework. As of the end of June 2025, only 6,422,933 out of the total. 11,821,194 active registered customers in the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry were metered, translating to a metering rate of 54.33 percent,” it said.
