The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has ordered nine power distribution companies to compensate Band A customers in 557 streets for failing to provide the mandated 20-hour daily supply in April.
The compensation, to be done through energy credits or improved supply, affects 152 electricity feeders across Abuja, Eko, Ikeja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Kaduna, Ibadan, Benin, and Enugu DisCos.
Eko DisCo has the highest number of affected areas—155 streets—followed by Abuja with 74.
NERC also directed that 58 streets be downgraded from Band A due to poor supply, while 33 others were upgraded for improved performance.
