NERC to enforce compensation to electricity consumers for under-supply from July

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has moved to enforce compensation to electricity consumers for the under-supply of power to their homes and businesses with effect from July. This follows several complaints by energy consumers that the Service-Based Tariff (SBT), which has led to a huge increase in electricity bills paid by customers, only places obligations on them without appropriate sanctions for Distribution Companies (DISCOs) that under-supply. This was made known by the Deputy General Manager, Markets Competition and Rates, NERC, Mr Abba Terab, at the 58 th Session of the Power Dialogue organized by the Electricity Hub, who said that for now, compensation will be based on a 60-day cycle.

Yet Another Tariff Hike Looms

Energy The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Agency (NERC) has said from July it would again review, nay increase electricity tariffs across board in the country. This is as the quality and stability of supply continues to dwindle by the day. Like in the past, it’s almost a done deal, unless President Muhammadu Buhari steps in or declines to approve the hike. Emmanuel Addeh writes that despite such exercises in the past, Nigerians who have always been at the receiving end, have not experienced commensurate value from the sector. Again, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Agency (NERC), which now appears to be seen or heard only when plans are underway to embark on reviews, as if that’s its only statutory function, has announced that Nigerians may pay more for the elusive power supply a few months from now.
