Will Nigeria's electricity regulator or Federal Government announce a change to electricity tariffs before August 31, 2026?

Outcome: NO

How this forecast is settled

Will NERC or the Federal Government announce any electricity tariff change before August 31? Given ongoing power-sector reforms and the regular review of electricity pricing, a tariff-related announcement appears reasonably likely.

Resolution

Before August 31, 2026, the Federal Government actually ruled out an immediate electricity tariff increase, saying there was no policy to raise tariffs beyond current levels. NERC did issue its August 2026 Monthly Energy Caps on August 4, but that was not a new electricity tariff change.
