TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) announced that the currency rate used to determine Band A consumers’ current electricity cost had been lowered by 16.03%.
NERC cited this in its recently released Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) for May to December 2024.
The electricity regulator consequently said that it slashed the rate from N1,463.3/$ to N1,277.8/$ due to the appreciation of the naira against the dollar in the past month.
