“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”, the statement partly reads.

Recall that on April 3, 2924, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission approved tariff hikes for electricity customers by 245 percent to N225 per kWh from N68.

In May 2024, a minor reduction was later announced by the electricity distribution companies and confirmed by NERC amid outrage by customers.
