Enugu, Abuja Electricity Companies Reduce Tariff For Band A Customers

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has announced reduction of electricity tariff for their customers in the Band A feeders.

This is contained in a statement issued by the EEDC Head of Communication, Mr Emeka Ezeh, in Enugu on Monday.

The reduction followed the directive of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, that all the 11 Discos should now charge N206.80/kWh and no longer N225/Kwh for customers in Band A feeders.

According to the statement, “This is to inform our customers that end-user tariff for our Band A feeders have been reviewed downwards from N225/kWh to N206.80/kWh under MYTO 2024, effective from May 6, 2024.

“The daily minimum 20-hour supply still stands.

“Kindly note that the end-user tariff for Bands B, C, D and E feeders remain unchanged.”

Similarly, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) slashed the electricity tariff for its Band A customers from N225 per kilowatt hour to N206.80/kWh.

This came after the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company announced a reduction for band A customers.

The recent development shows a uniform reduction by N18.2 by the DisCos and takes effect on May 6, 2024.

The reduction was disclosed by the Distribution Company (DisCo) on Monday in a public notice obtained by newsmen.

While assuring customers in Band A of guaranteed 20-24hrs electricity supply daily, the Disco maintained that tariff for Bands B, C, D, and E remains unchanged.

“Dear Esteemed Customers, please be informed of the downward tariff review of our Band A feeders from N225/kWh to N206.80/kWh effective 6th May 2024 with guaranteed availability of 20-24hrs supply daily.

“The tariff for Bands B, C, D, and E remains unchanged,” the DisCo said.

Recall that the NERC in April announced a new tariff hike of N225/kWh. This represents about a 241 per cent increment in rate for customers on Band A.

Customers on Band A enjoy 20 hours and above electricity supply daily.
