How to Claim the Compensation
IBEDC directed customers to visit the compensation portal and input their Meter or Account Number to confirm whether their feeder appears on the eligible list and to proceed with a claim.
Band A customers are expected to receive a guaranteed minimum of 20 hours of electricity supply daily, and the compensation scheme addresses periods when that standard was not met.
Customers whose feeders do not appear on the 20-feeder list are not covered under this particular directive for the February and March 2026 period.
FG plans electricity tarrif increase again
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerians may face higher electricity tariffs soon, as the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) indicated it is reviewing electricity tariffs across all customer bands due to increasing operational costs in the sector.
The development has come as a concern among electricity consumers who are already battling increasing costs of living, inflation and a persistent epileptic power supply in the country.
Nigeria employs a band-based system where electricity consumers are charged according to the average number of hours of electricity supply they receive daily.
