The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), has revealed the areas within their area of coverage in the south east that will be affected by the new tariff hike.
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, on Wednesday, approved a sharp increase in electricity tariffs for customers classified under Band A.
Customers in this category will now be charged N225 per kilowatt-hour (KW/h). It is a significant rise from the previous rate of N66 electricity tariff.
The new rate took effect on 3rd April 2024.
This was revealed by Musliu Oseni, the Vice Chairman of NERC. You can read the full list of Band A electricity tariff areas across the country HERE.

For instance, on the new electricity tariff, NERC said: “All customers wrongly billed at the new rate should be refunded through energy tokens no later than Thursday the 11th of April 2024.
“And (they should) file evidence of compliance with the Commission by the 12th of April 2024.
EEDC said the proper facilities are being put in place to ensure that the areas listed received the mandated number of hours within their network.
