    House Of Reps Calls For Reversal Of Band A Electricity Hike

    The House of Representatives on Tuesday asked the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the distribution companies, DISCOs, to reverse the tariff hike for Band A customers immediately.

    This resolution was reached after the adoption of a report presented by the House Committee on Power.

    Chairman of the Committee Victor Nwokolo who presented the report, stated that Nigerians cannot afford the new tariff.

    The Committee recommended a return to the status quo.

    The recommendations were adopted by the Committee of the Whole, after which it was passed.

    Further investigation into the tariff hike is to be conducted by the House.

    The NERC in April announced a hike affecting Band A customers, who are to pay N225 per kilowatt.

    According to the regulatory commission Band A subscribers would have at least 20 hours of power supply per day

    It also explained that only electricity customers in Band A would be affected by the increase.

    At the time, it said only 15 per cent of the electricity consumers were affected by the hike, however, the decision generated negative reactions since its announcement.

    “We currently have 800 feeders that are categorised as Band A, but it will now be reduced to under 500. This means that 17 per cent now qualify as Band-A feeders. These feeders only service 15 per cent of total electricity customers connected to the feeders,” NERC Vice Chairman, Musliu Oseni said on April 3.

    “The commission has issued an order which is titled April supplementary order and the commission allows a 235 kilowatt per hour.”
