Addressing a news conference in Abuja, the Chairman of the
Commission, Sanusi Garba, said the review was conducted in line with
multi-year tariff order that mandates that electricity tariff be reviewed
every six months.
NERC’s confirmation comes as the nation continues to confront an
energy crisis amid petrol queues, rising diesel costs and national grid
collapses.
NERC’s Chairman said it is the duty of electricity distribution
companies to inform their customers of tariff review outcomes and cost
of power.
He blamed the poor state of electricity supply and grid collapses on
vandalism of gas pipelines to power plants, plants maintenance and a
trip on the 330KV line from Ughelli power plant.
