Attention AEDC Customers: How To Check Your Band
In response to the recent electricity tariff hike by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has introduced an online platform to assist customers in checking their tariff band, account balance, and other essential details.
The AEDC serves residents of the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), as well as those in Kogi, Nasarawa, and Niger States.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to access this vital information:
1. Visit the AEDC Website – https://infocheck.abujaelectricity.com/
2. Navigate to the ‘Check Your Balance / Tariff’ section.
3. Input your ‘Account Number’ or ‘Meter Number’.
4. Your Account Number, Balance, and Tariff Band will be displayed.
Understanding Tariff Bands:
AEDC categorizes customers into different tariff bands based on the average hours of electricity supply received daily. These bands range from A to E, with Band A customers enjoying 20-24 hours of power daily, gradually decreasing to Band E customers who receive 4-8 hours.
Band Hours of Supply:
– A: 20-24 hours (225 kWh)
– B: 16-20 hours (68.56 kWh)
– C: 12-16 hours (56.91 kWh)
– D: 8-12 hours (41.20 kWh)
– E: 4-8 hours (41.21 kWh)
Factors Determining Your Tariff Band:
Your placement in a specific tariff band is determined by the “feeder band,” which reflects the average daily electricity supply to your area. This classification is beyond individual customers’ control and depends on the area’s supply capacity and infrastructure quality.
Addressing Tariff Band Concerns:
If you have concerns about your tariff band classification, AEDC encourages reaching out to their customer service with your account or meter number for assistance. While customers cannot directly change their tariff band, improvements in local infrastructure and supply may lead to a reclassification over time.
