Electricity Consumers Decry Unequal Distribution as DisCos Prioritize Band A

Consumers in Bands C, D, and E express frustration over reduced power supply while Band A customers enjoy extended hours following tariff adjustments.

Band A receives 20-24 hours, B gets 16-20, C gets 12-16, D gets 8-12, and E gets 4-8 hours of daily electricity supply.

NERC increased tariffs for Band B customers to ensure cost reflective tariffs, prompting DisCos to prioritize Band A to avoid penalties.

Technical faults and low generation exacerbate the situation, with DisCos rationing 3,265MW.

Customers across bands voice grievances over inadequate supply despite paying for higher tiers.

DisCos justify prioritizing Band A to meet regulatory requirements but experts criticize neglecting other bands, emphasizing the need for equitable service provision.
