… warns non-compliance may invalidate bills, suspend power supply
Oredola Adeola
Ikeja Electric Plc has urged postpaid customers and those on estimated billing who receive electricity invoices to submit at least one form of identification — TIN, CAC Registration Number, or NIN — on or before February 20, 2026.
The DisCo has therefore warned that customers’ failure to comply could invalidate invoices, prevent bill generation, and lead to possible suspension of power supply to their facilities.
This was contained in a public notice confirmed by Kingsley Okorie, Head of Corporate Communications at Ikeja Electric Plc, during a conversation with Advisors Reports on Tuesday.
The DisCos disclosed that, in compliance with the Nigeria Tax Act (2025) — which came into effect on January 1, 2026 — all invoices, including electricity bills, must include at least one customer identification detail: a TIN, CAC registration number, or NIN.
Ikeja Electric further stated that invoices issued without the required information would be considered invalid.
The company warned that failure to provide the necessary details may prevent the generation of electricity bills and could result in service suspension after the stated deadline.
DisCos further asked affected customers to update their details on their January 2026 and subsequent bills by completing this FORM.
Okorie, in a chat with Advisors Reports, clarified that prepaid customers are unaffected, noting that the postpaid requirement also applies to those on estimated billing, who receive bills for their power consumption.
When asked why the notice is only now reaching customers, given that less than nine days remain before the deadline, Okorie explained that the date is mandatory but assured that customer engagement efforts are ongoing.
