The Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company has announced an electricity tariff increase for Band A customers who receive 20–24 hours of daily power supply.
The disco announced the increment in a statement on Wednesday by its head of corporate communications, Abdulazeez Abdullahi.
The electricity firm said the tariff increased to N209.9 per kilowatt-hour from N206.80.
This marks the second time the disco has announced a tariff hike for Band A customers, following the April 3 tariff increase.
It reads: “The Management of Kaduna Electric informs the public of an upward review in the tariff of Band A feeders from N206.80/kWh to N209.5/kWh.
“The review is effective from 1st July 2024 and affects both prepaid and postpaid customers. Kaduna Electric assures customers on its Band A feeders of the continued availability of 20-24hrs supply daily as stipulated in the Service Based Tariff regime.
“The public should please note that the tariff for Bands B, C, D, and E remains un- changed.”
Recall that on April 3, 2024, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission approved a tariff hike for electricity customers, increasing rates by 245 percent from N68 per kWh to N225.
In May 2024, amidst customer outcry, electricity distribution companies announced a slight reduction in tariffs, a decision later confirmed by NERC.
