- The downward tariff review of the Band A customers would take effect from Monday, May 6, 2024.
- Under the approved review, Band A customers who hitherto were charged N225/Kwh, are now to pay N206.80/Kwh.
Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IE) has announced the reduction of its electricity tariff for customers under Band A from N225/kWh to N206.80/kWh.
In a circular by the management of the company on Monday on its “X” page, IE said the customers will now pay N206.80/kwh as against the N225/kwh ordered by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
In the statement, IE guaranteed to provide 20 to 24 hours of electricity to users under this Band, adding that the tariff for customers under other categories will remain the same.
It said: “Dear Esteemed Customers, Please be informed of the downward tariff review of our Band A feeders from N225/kwh to N206.80/kwh effective 6th May 2024 with guaranteed availability of 20-24hrs supply daily.
“The tariff for Bands B, C, D, and E remains unchanged.”
The decision to crash the tariff may not be unconnected with public outcry over the increase in electricity which industry observers, Civil Society Organisations, and labour unions have described as insensitive
