The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has said that the new electricity tariff (MYTO 2015) will take effect from Feb.1, 2016.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja and signed by Dr. Usman Abba-Arabi, the Head, Public Affairs, NERC.
According to the statement, NERC has directed all the distribution companies to abide by this directive and should not connect new customers without first providing them with meters.
It noted that the acting Head of NERC, Dr. Anthony Akah, stated that the removal of fixed charge under the new tariff regime was in response to electricity consumers’ complaints.
