    Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has directed nine electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to compensate Band A customers residing in 557 streets across their franchise areas for failing to meet the minimum power supply requirement under the new electricity tariff regime.

    According to NERC, the affected DisCos must implement compensation across 152 electricity feeders due to poor supply in April.

    The compensation will be provided through electricity credit or improved power supply, as outlined in the April 2025 Multi-Year Tariff Order.

    The directive affects the following DisCos:

    Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC)

    Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC)

    Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED)

    Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO)

    Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO)

    Ikeja Electric (IE)

    Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC)

    Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC)

    Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC)

    The development follows a tariff hike of over 300% for Band A customers in 2024, which mandated a minimum daily power supply of 20 hours. Despite the increase, many consumers have continued to report poor service delivery, leading to the latest compensation directive.

    NERC stated that affected DisCos must upgrade power supply in designated areas or provide electricity credits to customers who experienced service failures.
