Electricity: Downgrade Band A customers not enjoying 20-hour supply, NERC tells DisCos

Electricity: Downgrade Band A customers not enjoying 20-hour supply, NERC tells DisCos

 

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has mandated electricity distribution companies (DisCos) to supply Band A customers at least 20 hours of daily power supply.

It also instructed that anyone on Band A not enjoying such minimum electricity supply should be downgraded accordingly.

Dafe Akpeneye, NERC’s commissioner for licensing and legal, said DisCos must immediately downgrade customers they could not consistently supply adequate power.

He stated this while speaking on Friday on Channels Television’s Morning Brief.

Akpeneye said, “With regard to the migration order, it is not elective to the instance of the customer. The DisCo needs to make an application and ensure that they can supply power to customers in Band A.

“If DisCos can’t supply such customers, the DisCos have to downgrade such customers to meet what they can provide.
