The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has secretly approved the electricity distribution companies (DISCOS) to increase the electricity tariff.
TNG reports that the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) confirmed the development on Wednesday.
Contacted, the AEDC said it was in compliance with an order by NERC.
“Good day, please be informed that the increase in Tariff is in compliance with NERC order”.
The tariff increase was first observed on the Tariff Band A Non MD, which was increased from N57.55 per unit in December to N68.2 per unit.
Meanwhile, neither the NERC nor the electricity distribution companies have released an official statement on the matter.
