The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has ordered nine electricity Distribution Companies to compensate Band A customers living in 557 streets across its franchise areas for failing to meet the minimum power supply requirement mandated under the new electricity tariff regime. According to NERC, the affected DisCos must implement the compensation across 152 electricity feeders for poor supply in the month of April. The compensation is to be implemented through either electricity credit or improved power supply, as stated in the April 2025 Multi-Year Tariff Order released by the regulatory agency and analysed by our correspondent on Saturday. The DisCos affected by the directive include Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, Kano Electricity Distribution Company, Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company, Ikeja Electric, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, and Benin Electricity Distribution Company. Enugu Electricity Distribution Company is also listed among those required to upgrade the power supply to some areas.
