What Are Tariff Bands?
Tariff Bands are classifications that determine how much consumers pay for electricity based on the minimum average hours of power supply they receive daily.
The core principle is that the more hours of electricity a feeder guarantees, the higher the rate (per kilowatt-hour) the customers on that line pay. Band A represents the premium, unsubsidized tier with the highest rates, while Bands B through E continue to receive government subsidies, making them cheaper but subject to shorter supply availability.

If you're on a postpaid meter, your consumption is recorded and billed monthly. For customers without meters, billing is done through estimation based on your tariff classification and average consumption in your area. We strongly encourage all customers to apply for a prepaid meter to ensure you only pay for what you use.
You can also check your tariff band, feeder information, and supply classification using your account number or meter number.
Why your band might change
LASERC may periodically direct the reclassification of feeders based on actual supply performance. Where an area receives fewer hours than its current band requires, the feeder may be moved to a lower band, with a corresponding adjustment in the applicable tariff.
Customers who believe their band does not reflect the supply received can report the issue to EKO POWER for review. Where the complaint remains unresolved after 15 working days, it may be escalated directly to LASERC through the complaints portal.
