The Federal Government’s expenditure on electricity subsidies surged to ₦199.64 billion in December 2024, marking a 2.76% increase from the ₦194.26 billion spent in November, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
The rise was attributed to fluctuations in key economic indicators, including the exchange rate, which NERC pegged at ₦1,687.45 to the dollar, an inflation increase to 33.9%, and changes in available power generation capacity.
These factors necessitated a minor review under the ‘December 2024 Multi-Year Tariff Order’ report.
Despite these changes, NERC noted that electricity tariffs for all customer categories were retained.
While Band A customers continued to pay ₦209/kWh, tariffs for customers in Bands B to E remained frozen at rates first set in December 2022.
As a result of this policy, the Federal Government is expected to spend ₦29.10 billion as subsidies for consumers under the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), up from ₦27.86 billion in November.
Similarly, consumers under Ikeja Electric will receive ₦26.68 billion in subsidies.
