The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company has reduced the electricity tariff payable by its Band A customers to N206.80 per kilowatt-hour.
Recall that on April 3, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission approved an increase in tariff for customers under the Band A category to N225 per kwh — from N66.
The commission said customers under the category are those who receive 20 hours of electricity supply daily.
Announcing the cut in a statement on Monday, made available via its Facebook page, the power company said that the new tariff rate will be effective from May 6, 2024.
