Kaduna electric rules out tariff increase in Kaduna, Sokoto, others for now

Despite the new tariff order being put in place, the Management of Kaduna Electric has announced that there is no immediate adjustment in the tariff rate and therefore stressed that the current rate being paid by customers in Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi state states subsist.

This was contained in a statement signed by Abdulazeez Abdullahi, Head of Corporate Communication.

He stated further, "customers should note that the new tariff order contains two components; the appropriate Cost Reflective Tariff that Distribution Companies (Discos) should have  charged customers in the light of prevailing economic conditions and the Allowed Tariff, which is the amount Discos are allowed to charge their customers based on government’s policy to continue with the tariff subsidy regime. Tariff is expected to rise when the federal government ends the subsidy regime.

"In view of this, we shall continue to charge both our post paid and pre paid customers under our franchise states the Allowed Tariff which is the subsidised current tariff rate they have been paying.

'We urge our customers to ensure they settle their bills on time and in full to avoid disconnection and to enable us settle our market invoices and improve service delivery," he concluded
