Free tool · facts checked 13 Nov 2026
BEDC does not have an online band checker yet. You can find your band in any of these ways:
- Your token receipt or bill: it shows your tariff band or class (for example "A-Non MD" or "Band B").
- The price per unit: if your receipt shows about ₦209.50 per kWh, you are on Band A; lower prices mean Bands B–E.
- Customer care: call BEDC (the number is on your bill) with your account number and ask for your feeder name and band.

| Band | Minimum power a day | Price per kWh |
|---|---|---|
| A | 20 hours | ₦209.50 (NERC-regulated states) |
| B | 16 hours | December 2022 rates, roughly ₦40–₦70, depending on band and DisCo |
| C | 12 hours | |
| D | 8 hours | |
| E | 4 hours |
Hours are the minimum average supply NERC sets for each band. Lagos, Enugu and some other states now have their own electricity regulators, so their rates can differ. Your DisCo's receipt shows your exact rate.

Frequently asked questions
What is an electricity band?
Bands A to E show the minimum hours of power your feeder should get each day: Band A at least 20 hours, B 16, C 12, D 8 and E 4. Band A pays the highest price per unit because it promises the most supply.
How do I know my electricity band?
Use your DisCo's band checker (linked on this page), look at your token receipt or bill (it shows your tariff band or class), or call your DisCo with your account number.
How much is Band A per kWh?
Band A costs ₦209.50 per kWh in states where NERC sets tariffs. Some states (such as Lagos and Enugu) now have their own electricity regulators, so rates there can differ. Bands B to E have stayed at their December 2022 rates, roughly ₦40 to ₦70 per kWh depending on band and DisCo.
Can I change my band?
Not by request. The band follows your feeder (the power line serving your area), not you. If your feeder does not get the hours promised for its band, you can report it to your DisCo, which must review or downgrade it.
Why does my token give fewer units than my neighbour's?
Usually because you are on a different feeder with a different band and price per unit. Your tariff class (for example MD or Non-MD) also affects the rate.
Where can I buy electricity tokens online?
On Gsubz you can buy prepaid tokens or pay postpaid bills for every DisCo, 24/7. We check the meter name before you pay and your token appears instantly.
