NERC Orders DisCos To Suspend New Electricity Tariff For Two Weeks

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) have been given an order to suspend for two weeks the implementation of the new electricity tariffs they introduced on September 1.   The order applies to all the 11 electricity distribution companies (DisCos).   The suspension order No. NERC/209/2020 dated September 28 was signed by the Chairman of the commission, James Momoh, and the Commissioner for Legal, Licensing and Compliance, Dafe Akpeneye.   The commission said the suspension order would last between September 28 and October 11 when it shall cease to have effect.   During the period, NERC said “all tariffs for end-use customers and market obligations of the DISCOs during the 14-day suspension shall be computed on the basis of rates applicable as at 31 August, 2020.”   On September 1, NERC, pursuant to Sections 32 and 76 of the Electric Power Sector Reform Act, approved the Multi-Year Tariff Order 2020 for the 11 successor electricity distribution companies.

The commission said the primary objectives of the MYTO 2020 Order was to ensure that rates charged by the DisCos were not only fair to customers, but also sufficient for the DisCos to operate efficiently to recover the full cost of their activities, including a reasonable return on the capital invested in the business.  


The affected DisCos are the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Benin Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Jos Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Kano Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc, Ikeja Electric Plc, Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company Plc and Yola Electricity Distribution Company Plc.  

Following the approval of the new tariffs by NERC, the 11 DisCos immediately increased their electricity rates, which has now been in operation for about four weeks.

NERC had, however, said the hike would not affect consumers who do not get daily supply of electricity cumulatively for 12 hours a day for a month.  

Applicable tariffs for customers in service band D and E (that is customers with a service commitment of less than an average of 12 hours supply per day over a period of one month) would be deferred for the period between September 1 and January 1, 2021.  


Recall on Monday, that the 14 days ultimatum by the organised labour for the reversal of the hikes in the fuel price and electricity tariffs throughout the country lapsed.  

To avert the strike, the government met with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).  

At the meeting, it was resolved that the review in electricity tariffs would be suspended for 14 days.  


The resolution was to allow for further consultations and finalisation of negotiations between the parties on the issue of electricity tariffs hike.
