The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) posted its October 2026 monthly energy-cap schedules on 5 October. Its latest-publications list contains ten separate PDFs for Yola, Port Harcourt, Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Ikeja, Ibadan, Enugu, Eko and Benin distribution companies.

Yola’s document says the October caps are based on energy consumed in September 2026 and lists kilowatt-hour caps by state, business unit, feeder and service band for unmetered customers. Each document is a separate feeder schedule for one distributor; the ten files do not form a single nationwide electricity-consumption total.
