Reactions as man asks to be returned to estimated billing

"I now tell my security people to put the changeover on neutral during the day to let the solar and inverter really do their work. That’s the only way I can stretch N100k to 10 days."
@HabuSadeik said:
"Hmmm, I suspect that would happen if they put meter for you without conserving your energy. This means u need to manage consumption (which I believe might be difficult for you to do) or supplement with solar, which is also costly or accepts your new reality."

"I pay £103 (#205,174) monthly for both 24/7 uninterrupted power supply and gas for heating the house. Now tell me, was your 10 days light uninterrupted?"

"Over the last 1 month, I’ve preferred to be in the dark intentionally (switching off the light). If you look deeply, darkness is calm. Exactly what band A did to me."
@dollings_ said:
"Theres no reason why electricity should be this expensive. I doubt there’s anywhere in the world where it is this expensive."
@RxYulan_ said:
"Walahi, prepaid meter bill especially for Band A is crazy. E shock me when 200k light finish in just 13 days."
@Skinlover02 said:
"If you’re consuming this much energy, it’s best you check the earthen of your apartment/house. Call an electrician to do this. You’ll need to use atleast 5 2hp ac for consecutive days at 20hrs per day to be able to consume this much energy."
