  "summary": "Nigeria's electricity distribution companies (DisCos) struggled to collect N45.26 billion from customers in July 2026, despite billing N250.79 billion for electricity supplied. This resulted in an 81.95% collection efficiency, leaving 18.05% of billings unrecovered. The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's July 2026 Factsheet revealed significant discrepancies between electricity supplied, billed, and collected, highlighting the ongoing challenges in Nigeria's electricity sector.",
