NERC orders DisCos to compensate Band-A customers over poor supply
By Obas Esiedesa, Abuja
nThe Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has directed electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to compensate eligible Band-A customers who suffered poor power supply due to grid generation constraints between February and March 2026.
nThe directive, contained in NERC Directive No. NERC/2026/002 on the Special Compensation of Band-A Customers Arising from Grid Generation Constraints, was issued following significant generation shortfalls that affected the ability of DisCos to meet their committed service levels to some Band-A customers during the period.
nAccording to the Commission, the generation deficits were largely caused by inadequate gas supply as well as vandalism of critical gas and transmission infrastructure, factors it said were beyond the direct operational control of the electricity distribution companies.
