DisCos start publishing their inability to provide 20 hours of power to Band A customers

In line with the directive of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Electricity distribution companies (DisCos) in the country have started publishing their inability to provide a minimum of 20 hours of power supply for Band A customers.

 

To ensure transparency and accountability, NERC had stated that when a DisCo fail to deliver on the committed level of service to a Band-A feeder for two consecutive days, the DisCo should, the next day by 10.00 am, publish on its website, reasons for failing.

 

Four out of 11 DisCos in the country have now published their inability to meet the required daily supply and also gave reasons.

 

While IBEDC said some Band A customers were not given 20 hours of electricity due to system outages and tripping on its feeders, KEDCO said a circuit breaker issue affected its ability to provide the required hours of electricity for its premium customers.

 

BEDC apologised to customers for not meeting the required minimum service level of 20 hours on the feeders as of April 8. KAEDC apologised for failing to supply up to the expected hours of light as of April 8 to the affected customers.
