The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company has been mandated by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to refund as much as N50 million naira to consumers for excessive electricity charges despite erratic power supply to their homes and business premises.
This instruction was given by NERC Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sam Amadi while responding to a query issued to his commission by the Senate on fixed charge, estimated billing and sundry issues. He said the agency monitored all complaints reported to the discos on a monthly basis and carries out analysis on them.
