Electricity Tariff: How To Check If You’re On Band A, B, C, D or E In Nigeria

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) recently sanctioned a notable surge in electricity tariffs for customers categorized under different bands.

It’s imperative for consumers to ascertain their band classification to understand the corresponding tariff rates.

Customers in Band A will now be charged N225 per kilowatt-hour (KW/h), a sharp rise from the previous rate of N66.

Band Classification

1. Band A: Customers receiving 20-24 hours of electricity supply daily.
2. Band B: Subscribers enjoying 16-20 hours of power supply daily.
3. Band C: Receivers of 12-16 hours of electricity on a daily basis.
4. Band D: Beneficiaries of 8-12 hours of power supply each day.
5. Band E: Consumers receiving 4-8 hours of electricity supply daily.
