It was also gathered that Nigerians would begin to pay more for electricity consumption from January 2020 according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
NERC sent the breakdown of the new directive to the 11 Distribution Company (DisCos) all over the nation in a statement by its chairman, Professor James Momoh, on Saturday, January 4.
The statement said this directive overshadows “other orders issued on the subject matter, and shall take effect from 1st January 2020 and shall have an effect on the issuance of a new Minor Review Order or an Extraordinary Tariff Review Order by the NERC.”
It revealed that the upward review of the tariff is based on data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with respect to the average monthly inflation rate of 11.3 % and the exchange rate of N309.97.
