The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) yesterday said the next tariff adjustment will see the monthly Fixed Charges (FC) paid only by consumers for electricity supply as against payments during prolonged blackouts. While the commission said there are no plans to abolish it, its chairman, Dr Sam Amadi said it has become a concern due to protracted blackouts, adding that it is not tied to consumption and it is not peculiar to Nigeria as other countries refer to it as ‘daily supply’, ‘service’, or ‘property’ charge. Amadi was response to a query by the senate about the fixed charges and other issues obtained at a press briefing in Abuja. While a Residential consumer (R2) under Abuja Distribution company (Disco) pay N702 Fixed Charge monthly, Commercial (C2) pay N47,772 and industrial (D2) pay N25,678. Within the 2015 tariff plan, the 14 consumer classes pay about N609,624 monthly as Fixed Charged under the Disco which is one among the 11 Discos. But Amadi in his clarification yesterday said “the Fixed Charges that consumers pay in the Nigerian electricity market is not illegal or fraudulent. The difference could be that we don’t have a good supply of electricity because of the legacy problem of lack of generation capacity.” http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/news/no-light-no-fixed-charge--nerc/106952.html |

The best thing is to spread the fixed charge over the units. If there is light, the fixed charge counts; If there is no light its doesn't. It fraudulent to pay for laziness in the name of recouping investment. |
