Amended Order on Unauthorised Access, Meter Tampering and By-Pass

The Amended Order on Unauthorised Access, Meter Tampering, and By-pass replaces Order No: NERC/REG/41/2017 and has taken effect from 22 January 2025.

This amendment aligns with the Electricity Act 2023 and the Customer Protection Regulations (CPR) 2023, which allow Distribution Companies (DisCos) to disconnect unauthorised connections without notice and prescribe reconnection conditions.

The order aims to: - Reduce unauthorised access to electricity, meter tampering, and by-pass. - Establish transparent reconnection guidelines to ensure compliance.
