The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission on Friday insisted that electricity Distribution Companies must not increase tariffs of customers enjoying less than 12 hours of power supply daily.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the DisCos had on Sept. 1 announced the implementation of new Service Reflective Tariff Plan across their franchise areas. However, Akpeneye, who was responding to claims by some customers that the DisCos were not adhering to the increment terms, maintained that those below 12 hours supply daily should not experience any increment.He explained that the hours and bands were decided by the commission after consultations but customers were assigned to the bands by the DisCos.Akpeneye said:”Anyone who is enjoying less than 12 hours of electricity must not have their tariffs increased.

For the past 3months, we've been having epileptic power supply of far less than 10hrs daily in an area under tariff classification 2, that we were promised 16hrs average minimum daily power supply. I even wrote a letter to NERC Ikeja forum without action
