THE ABUJA Electricity Distribution (AEDC) has issued an apology on wrong charges faced by some Band A customers who tried to recharge their meters following the new tariff regime.
The Management of AEDC tendered the apology in a notice to its customers in Abuja on Thursday.
It said,” This is to inform customers across the AEDC franchise that we are aware of the wrong charges faced by some Band A customers who tried to recharge their meters following the new tariff regime.
“This is due to a system glitch caused by the reclassification of some Band A customers who have now been downgraded to B due to the number of hours of electricity supply enjoyed over the past few weeks.
