The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has warned electricity distribution companies not to increase tariffs of consumers not enjoying more than 12 hours power supply on a daily basis.
NERC Commissioner, Legal Licensing and Compliance, Safe Akpeneye made this known during the regulatory agency’s online town hall meeting with customers on Friday.
“Anyone who is enjoying less than 12 hours of electricity must not have their tariffs increased,” he said.
“Customers who receive electricity service below the band they have been assigned can have the DisCos move them to the actual band of electricity service they receive.
“Unhappy? Contest the band classification you have been assigned,” he added.
