Nigerian electricity distribution companies (DisCos) collect ₦205.53 billion in revenue in July 2026, according to a report by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). NERC says the figure is a 7.12% increase compared with June.
The NERC figures also show that DisCos bill customers ₦250.79 billion during the month, leaving a billing gap of ₦83.15 billion. One outlet also notes that DisCos receive revenue out of the billed amount, while reporting additional context on energy received during the period.
Outlets broadly agree on the headline numbers—revenue collected, billed amount, and the reported gap—while differing slightly in emphasis. One story highlights the overall monthly revenue and month-on-month growth, another foregrounds the billed versus collected comparison, and the third focuses on how the billing gap figures into the gap between what is billed and what is collected.
