Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc on Wednesday announced an increase of electricity tariff for Band A customers.
The Acting Managing Director, IBEDC, Francis Agoha, in a statement stated that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission approved the tariff increase from N206.80/kWh to N209.50/kWh for users in the category.
According to a public notice signed by Agoha on Wednesday, the tariffs for Bands B, C, D, and E remain unchanged.
The statement read, “Effective immediately, the tariff will be adjusted from N206.80/kWh to N209.50/kWh. This review has been duly approved by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) as captured in the multi-year tariff supplementary order.
“The adjustment is necessitated by several key economic indices, including fluctuations in the exchange rate, the current inflation rate, available generation capacity, and the cost of gas. These factors have significantly impacted operational costs, and the new tariff will mitigate these financial pressures while continuing to deliver high-quality electricity services.
