The Vice Chairman, NERC, Musliu Oseni, said the increase will see the customers paying N225 kilowatt per hour (KW/h) from the current N66.
PUNCH Online notes that customers under Band A are those who enjoy 20-24 hours of electricity supply daily while those in Band B are subscribers who enjoy 16 to 20 hours power supply.
Those in Band C enjoy 12 to 16 hours daily power supply..
Also, Band D subscribers are beneficiaries of eight to 12 hours power supply and Band E subscribers only enjoy four to eight hours of electricity supply daily.
