“We cannot make a decision about a very critical aspect of the sector like tariff without a nod from the regulator.” Nigeria Electricity NERC Disco TariffIncrease

Almost all the 11 companies have notified their customers that tariff on electricity would increase from July 1, 2020, a plan which NERC had announced and would have implemented in April but dropped due to outbreak of Covid-19.

The Executive Director, Research and Advocacy, Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors , Sunday Oduntan, disclosed yesterday that NERC had warned the companies not to mention its name or the Federal Government in any communication about the tariff increase. Oduntan, who said NERC’s silence on the planned increase in tariff was no longer golden, further explained:

“Hence we were surprised to receive a letter from NERC to all the DisCos, warning them not to mention its name or that of the Federal government in any public communications on tariffs. “
