According to Nigeria National Grid: “Aba Power has approached the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) demanding approval to hike tariff to N240/kWh from N122 per kilowatt hour.
The NERC said the company appealed for a cost-effective tariff, as the current charge is far below its cost.
Aba Power is the electricity distribution company of Aba Integrated Power Project licensed by the NERC in 2007 to generate and distribute power from its 141MW power plant.
The company took over all distribution assets in the Aba and Ariaria Business Units known as the Aba Ring Fence Area from the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company on February 16, 2022.
They are not part of the National Grid but sometimes procure supply from Alaoji GenCo.”
