Things To Be Aware Of About Electrical Service Bands

HAVE you ever wondered why there are so many daily power outages in your neighborhood or place of employment? You're not by yourself. Many clients are on different power service bands, while some get nearly 24-hour service.

This article describes a system that uses the guaranteed minimum daily electricity provision to categorize users of electricity. In essence, it lists the anticipated daily power supply hours for each service band. Let's talk about the bands in more detail:

Band A

Customers on this band are guaranteed a minimum of 20 hours of electricity every day, making it the most dependable supply available. As a result, power outages are probably rare.

Band B 

The slightly diminished guarantee of 16 hours of electricity per day is provided by this band. Although power outages are possible, they should happen less frequently than in lower bands.

Band C

The minimum guaranteed supply drops to 12 hours a day in this band, raising the possibility of outages.

Band D

Band D customers are guaranteed at least 8 hours of electricity every day. As opposed to higher bands, anticipate lengthier and more frequent power outages.

Band E

This band only offers 4 hours of electricity per day, which is the lowest assured service. It is predicted that there will be several outages.

However, it's important to recognize that these are only minimal guarantees. There's a chance that outages that are more than the minimum required for your band will happen.

Here are a few more things to think about. 

Price

The service band may cause variations in the electricity pricing. Bands that receive more hours of electricity, or greater assured service, usually pay a higher rate per kilowatt-hour. Concurrently, an increase in electricity rates for subscribers in Band A has been approved by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

Location

Location can have an impact on the availability of electricity service bands. Not every band may be available in every area.
