Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has mandated a decrease in electricity tariff for Band A customers to N206.80 per kilowatt-hour from the previous N225/kWh. This adjustment, effective from May 6, 2024, comes as a result of the appreciation of the naira in the official exchange window. Consequently, electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) have initiated the implementation of this tariff reduction for Band A customers.

Why it matters

  • Complaints have been logged against the increase tarrif for band A electricity user.
  • The increased tarrif have added to the cost of production, making service delivery more difficult for manufacturers and thus increased rates that will affect cusumers of products
  • Reduced rate would also mean reduced cost of production, leading to reduced prices

DisCos Respond to Tariff Reduction

In response to NERC’s directive, DisCos have begun notifying their customers about the reduced tariffs for Band A customers. Ikeja Electric (IE) has announced a reduction from N225/kWh to N206.80/kWh for its Band A feeders, ensuring a guaranteed availability of 20-24 hours of supply daily. Similarly, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) and the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) have issued similar notices to their customers, aligning with the cost-reflective tariffs framework introduced in 2020. However, tariffs for Bands B, C, D, and E customers remain unchanged.

Bottom Line: Tariff Adjustment for Improved Service Delivery

The downward review of electricity tariff for Band A customers signifies a move towards enhancing service delivery and ensuring affordability for consumers. With the alignment to cost-reflective tariffs, DisCos aim to provide consistent and reliable electricity supply to customers in this category. This regulatory intervention underscores the importance of balancing tariff adjustments with the need to maintain service standards in the Nigerian electricity market.
