The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) approves a special compensation framework for eligible “Band A” electricity customers affected by poor or insufficient power supply between February and March 2026. Multiple outlets report that the scheme is linked to grid generation constraints, with NERC citing prolonged generation shortfalls and supply disruptions during the period. Premium Times adds that the regulator attributes the shortfalls in part to gas supply constraints and to vandalism of critical infrastructure, alongside broader generation limitations. Vanguard reports that NERC directs electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to provide compensation to qualifying Band-A customers, including in a directive identified as NERC/2026/002. The outlets describe the compensation as intended to mitigate the financial burden on premium customers who experience outages or poor supply despite their service category. The reporting is consistent that eligibility applies to Band A customers and that the compensation applies specifically to impacts occurring during the February–March 2026 window, as assessed under the regulator’s framework.
