Electricity tariffs in Nigeria have changed recently, leaving many people wondering how it affects their bills. At LightNG, we want to make things simple for you. This guide explains the new band system, how it works, and what you can do to stay in control of your electricity payments.
What Are the New Electricity Tariffs?
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) reviewed electricity tariffs, introducing a band system to determine pricing. This system classifies customers based on their daily power supply. As a result, your electricity bill now depends on how many hours of power you receive.
The Different Electricity Bands and What They Mean
Consumers fall into one of five bands (A–E) based on their daily electricity supply. Below is a breakdown of each category:
- Band A: Receives 20 hours or more of electricity daily and pays the highest tariff.
- Band B: Gets 16 to 20 hours of power and pays slightly less than Band A.
- Band C: Has 12 to 16 hours of electricity and pays a moderate tariff.
- Band D: Enjoys 8 to 12 hours of power at a lower tariff.
- Band E: Receives 4 to 8 hours of electricity and pays the least.
Since your bill depends on your assigned band, understanding your electricity supply is important. If power supply increases, your band may change, leading to a higher tariff. On the other hand, reduced power supply should result in a lower tariff.
