The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IE) declared during the week that it has added 24 new Band A feeders to its network amid the power outage in the country caused by the power grid shutdown.
This is contained in a statement signed by the management of the company and posted on its X (formerly Twitter) account.
The new feeders who were initially under a different Band category will now pay the newly revised tariff of N206/kWh as Band A feeders. According to IE, the additional feeders of Band A to its network are driven by the firm’s capability to maintain at least 20 hours of daily availability during a performance evaluation period overseen by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
IE further noted that the approved Band A feeders now stand at 128.
“Premised on our demonstrated ability to consistently provide a minimum of 20 hours of daily availability during a performance evaluation period monitored by the Regulator, we are pleased to announce that we have obtained approval to add 24 Band A feeders to our network,” the statement read.
