A home's band is set by the feeder that supplies the building, not by the town. Search an area, estate or street on this page to see how likely it is to be Band A, the hours of light promised and the monthly cost, from the regulators' lists. To be sure about one flat, check its meter number on the electricity company's lookup or read a recent token receipt. A Band A customer pays ₦209.50 per kWh (₦160 on EEDC); Bands B to E pay far less.
Most areas are served by several feeders, and each feeder has its own band based on the hours of supply it is committed to. Two streets in the same estate can be on different bands. Pick the street or estate from the suggestions, or check the exact flat with its meter number.
Very likely: at least 4 feeders are listed, at least 85% of them are on one band, and lists agree on at least 8 in 10 of them, mostly on lists from the last 4 months. Likely: about 2 in 3 agree. Mixed: it depends on the street. Not enough data: only 1 or 2 feeders are listed. When two official lists disagree about a feeder, we count it half to each band. Only the meter number shows one flat's band. We never show it as a percentage.
Yes. Ask the agent or landlord for the prepaid meter number, or a photo of a recent token receipt. Enter the number on the electricity company's own lookup (BEDC, YEDC, AEDC, IBEDC, Ikeja Electric, Eko Electricity and EEDC run one), or read the tariff code on the receipt: a code starting with A, such as “A-Non MD”, means Band A. A listing can say Band A for a flat that's on another feeder, so check before paying.
The 3,690 feeders behind these answers come from the feeder lists in the regulators’ monthly tariff orders (NERC, and state regulators such as LASERC in Lagos and EKSERB in Ekiti), the Band A lists DisCos publish themselves, and NERC’s monthly energy caps. Every area page names the documents behind its answer and their months.
Regulators review feeder bands every month, and NERC requires a DisCo to downgrade a Band A feeder that supplies under 20 hours a day for seven consecutive days. Treat any list as a snapshot: if your supply changed recently, confirm your band with your DisCo.
The monthly tariff order and the energy caps for unmetered customers are separate documents and they do not always agree. When they disagree about a feeder, we count it half to each band and say so on the area’s page, so a disagreement can turn “Likely Band A” into “Mixed”. Only the meter number shows which band one flat is on.
Your browser shares your position with this page only after you allow it. The page compares it with the middle of each listed area on your phone, and opens an area only when it is clearly the closest; otherwise it asks which area you are in. Your location stays on your phone. Only when no listed area is within 5 km, a position rounded to about 1 km is sent once to name your town with OpenStreetMap, and it is not stored. Distances are to the middle of each area, not to your building.
Keep a record of your daily supply hours for a week, then complain to your DisCo in writing. If it is not resolved, take it to the NERC Forum Office for your area — or your state electricity regulator if your state has taken over. Our Band A checker turns your hours into an estimate of what you are overpaying.
