The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has given its nod to a substantial increase in electricity tariffs for customers falling under Band A classification.
Musliu Oseni, NERC’s Vice Chairman, announced that customers in this segment will now face a rate of N225 per kilowatt-hour (KW/h), marking a significant jump from the previous N66 rate.
Band A subscribers are those who benefit from 20-24 hours of electricity supply daily. Conversely, Band B customers enjoy 16 to 20 hours of power, Band C receives 12 to 16 hours, Band D gets eight to 12 hours, and Band E subscribers are allocated four to eight hours of electricity daily.
However, the tariff hike has stirred debate over subscriber classification, with concerns raised about potential overcharging. To assist customers in identifying their band, the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company offers a step-by-step guide:
