The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has slammed a fine of N200m on the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) for wrongly applying the new electricity tariffs on some residents of the Nigerian capital.
The NERC also ordered the DisCo to refund the wrongly billed customers.
The sanctions were announced in a Friday statement by the NERC management following complaints by several Auja residents who tried to buy electricity units days after a tariff increase was announced.
