Suspend new electricity tariff, Reps tell NERC
The House of Representatives has asked the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to suspend the implementation of the recently announced tariff increase.
The House also called for the suspension of other conditions in the newly issued review of the Multi-Year Tariff Order.
It went ahead to set up a special committee made up of the Committees on Power, Commerce, Delegated Legislation, and National Planning to organize a well-structured hearing on the price regulation of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
NERC had earlier this month announced the increase in the electricity tariff from 68kw/hr to 225kw/HR but explained that only electricity customers in Band A would be affected.
