  "summary": "The 11 electricity Distribution Companies (Discos) in Nigeria generated a total revenue of N603.64 billion in the second quarter of 2026, marking an increase from N597.56 billion in Q1. The federal government incurred a tariff subsidy obligation of over N321 billion during the same period, as the sector regulator, NERC, reported. The collection efficiency of Discos improved to 81.06 per cent, up from 78.95 per cent in Q1, but under-recovery of invoices was attributed to challenges such as market issues, customer dissatisfaction, and delayed bill payments.",
