“NERC fines Abuja Disco N200m for unauthorized electricity tariff hike.”
NERC has fined Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) N200 million for violating tariff regulations, as announced in a statement on Friday. AEDC was penalized for not adhering to tariff guidelines, causing concerns among consumers. The government recently raised electricity tariffs, affecting only Band A customers, but AEDC applied the new tariff to all bands. NERC ordered AEDC to reimburse customers in other bands who were overcharged. This action reaffirms NERC’s commitment to consumer rights and fair practices in the electricity sector, urging consumers to report such incidents for appropriate action.
