Again, Buhari govt announces New Hike in Electricity Tariffs Across All Bands
NERC had in November implemented a 10 percent discount for band A – C customers, while exempting band D and E customers from tariff hikes.
This followed the reliefs sought by organised labour, which had threatened industrial action to protest the tariff increment. The immediate reliefs were, however, bound to be reviewed at the end of the year (2020).
The new tariff order NERC/225/2020 signed by NERC boss Sanusi Garba, hinged the increment on Nigeria’s 14.9 percent inflation rate (recorded in November), as well as the depreciation of the naira against the dollar in the foreign exchange market (N379.4/$1 as of December 29, 2020).
It also attributed the hike to “available generation capacity, U.S. inflation rate of 1.22 percent and the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of the power firms.”
The new tariffs are expected to rise even higher mid-2021 upon implementation of a Cost Reflective Tariff (CRT), billed to commence from June to December this year, Daily Trust reported, citing the NERC Order
