The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has issued five new directives to electricity distribution companies following the recent tariff hike. The directives were in a recent notice signed by the Deputy General Manager of Market Competition and Rates, Abba Terab. Recall that NERC last Tuesday approved a N225 per kilowatt-hour electricity tariff for Band A electricity customers getting at least 20 hours of power supply.
It mandated All DisCos to immediately post the schedule of approved Band A feeders affected by the rate review on their websites. The Commission stressed that all DisCos should set up a portal on their website by April 10, 2024, allowing all customers to check their current bands by entering their meter or account numbers.
