FG To Sanction Discos Supplying Below 20 Hours To Band A – Adelabu by treesun: 4:23pm On Apr 11
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said the federal government will sanction power distribution companies (DisCos) that fail to supply 20 hours of electricity to customers in the Band A category.


This is contained in a post made by Adelabu on Tuesday in his official X (formerly Twitter) account.

The minister said this is part of the adjustments made under the newly revised tariff system targeted at electricity consumers under the Band A category.

Recall that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) recently increased the electricity tariffs of customers under Band A category from N66/kWh to N225.kWh.


According to the NERC, Band A customers are the electricity users who enjoy power supply for a minimum of 20 hours daily.

Reacting to the development, the minister said the government will hold DisCos accountable for failure to supply 20 hours of electricity to customers under Band A.

Highlighting some of the provisions under the tariff adjustment reform, Adelabu noted that the federal government will save N1.5 trillion with tariff adjustment. FG still subsidizes Bands below A.

Pricing changes will help increase liquidity to the NESI and that DisCos will be sanctioned for supplying less than 20 hours electricity to Band A customers.

These foolish evil and SENSELESS people in power have lost it completely.
How can this senile fool justify the increments in tariffs with how Nigerians use or "waste" power by leaving their air-conditioner on? It's very senseless and funny.
What Stops them from providing prepaid meters for all customers and creating a good system of monitoring team that will ensure that costumers are not bypassing prepaid meters to steal? (THIS IS WHAT 40-60% OF NIGERIANS ARE DOING CURRENTLY )
If you give everyone prepaid meters and monitor the usage frequently, is it not going to be the headache of the customers if they misuse what they've paid for?


Nigerians too are too criminal minded. All most people want to do is to cheat the system then later blame the system for being corrupt.
I know a neighbor that has not paid for light for more than 2 years now. A purposely tampered with his prepaid meter through one of the PHCN staff and he has been using free electricity since then.
I have personally reported him and others on my street directly to PHCN office and online (EKEDC), and these fools have refused to do anything about it.

So you approved the hike with out even confirming if the discos are meeting their electricity distribution obligation. Tinubu needs to remove this power minister. He has to be one of his worst appointees.

I was questioning an ie staff some years ago that why should a commercial enterprise be billed differently, is their kw different from others?
Same thing is applicable to the variance in band, why should they pay more for steady supply, will telecommunication network provider bill me more cos their network is stable in my area?

Wahala awaits those who are not in the A category band, as Discos will reduce the little power supply they have been enjoying to meet the 20-hour-per-day target. I foresee significant power outages in most parts of the country.

I thank them for reversing my area tariff down from N225 they recently announced to N67 (excluding 7.5% VAT). It was actually around N94 (excluding 7.5% VAT) before the new increment in tariff. I actually don't know what happened or happening.
Below:
1.Previous tarrif before the hike N94
2. During the hike N225
3. After the reverse N67. All excluding the VAT.

BadMaster:
Useless bastards. So, Band A users are the only people deserving of quality and accurate service? Every other band can go to hell.

My guy, it is better to remain on N67 per unit tarrif and manage the few hours you're getting daily than to move you to N225 per unit and still not getting power supply more than the other categories. Band A is a scam and you don't want to fall under that classification, trust me. Band A and others still getting roughly the same hours of electricity

Stop clowning.

You guys are always bemoaning govt steps at fixing issues.

If the National Grid is down, then that's a different scenario. But if things are working as expected but they supply less than 20 hours then they will be penalized. It's that simple.

All these steps will only make them work better in the long run.

Sanction isn’t enough Mr Adelabu. Withdraw their licences and pass it to more competent firms.

In fact, minister should have companies in background, ( mix of local and foreign companies) with good pedigree that can take over from failing Discos.

Bring in foreign power distribution companies and let them show the locals how it’s done.

Why would you be charging huge fees and can’t use part of the money to improve your infrastructure? They are doing it because there is no consequence.

Severely punish failures and you will see success emerge!!
