5 tariff band · ₦/kWh rate · monthly bill estimator · Band A neighbourhood list
For April 2024, NEPA reform the tariff system — the old single rate split into 5 band based on hour of supply wey your feeder dey deliver. The reform mean Band A customer (the ones wey dey enjoy 20+ hour daily) now dey pay 3-4× pass before. The trade-off na real: reliable power for premium price, or cheap power wey dey come few hours per day.

(3) Match your area to the published Band A feeder list — most of Ikoyi, VI, Lekki Phase 1, Ikeja GRA, and Banana Island dey on Band A; the wider Lagos average na Band B or C.
If your supply drop below the band minimum for 7 days straight, your DisCo must downgrade you to a lower band (and refund the difference for the affected period). For practice, the complaint go through the DisCo feeder-performance system. NERC sef dey accept complaint if the DisCo no agree.
