Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) have commenced implementation of the new Service Reflective Tariff Plan.
The firms made the announcement on Tuesday.
They cited the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) approval of the Multi Year Tariff Order 2020.
The order took effect September 1.
EKEDC Corporate Communications Manager, Godwin Idemudia, told NAN that customers who enjoyed less than 12 hours of supply would not be affected by the new tariff.

The spokesman explained that the regime would ensure that prices charged by EKEDC was fair to customers.
The implementation will provide a path for transitioning to full service-based cost-reflective tariffs by July 2021, reclassify and disaggregate customers on the basis of agreed commitments on quality of service.
“It is to ensure that customers pay tariffs that are commensurate with the power availability and service delivery commitments by EKEDC”, Idemudia said.
IKEDC in a statement said the new order clustered its customers into five Tariff Service Bands and revised the tariff payable by customers.
