I will now go into specifics to show you the exact amount of units you will get with ₦1,000.00. But before we get into that, let me briefly explain what the service bands are.

Classification by Supply (How Much Power You’re Given)

Service Band A

Customers in this band enjoy the highest level of power supply, receiving 20 hours or more of electricity daily. Government Residential Areas and High-brow Estates are usually on this band.

Service Band B

Falling into this category means you receive a substantial amount of power, typically between 16 to 19 hours daily. It meets the needs of homes and companies with moderate power needs and to some, might strike a good balance between price and supply. Major towns and cities in Nigeria usually fall under this band.

Service Band C

Customers in this band receive 12 to 16 hours of power daily. This service band provides a decent amount of electricity, suitable for many residential consumers and small businesses.

Service Band D

With 8 to 12 hours of daily power supply, Service Band D caters to those who need power for specific periods of the day. As we go closer to the rural areas, we begin to find users in this service band.

Service Band E

Customers in Service Band E receive 4 to 8 hours of power supply daily. This is the poorest supply and users in this band have to rely heavily on alternative sources. For more details about the classification including the demands classification check this post I wrote earlier. So let’s get into the details of what each user gets in different distribution centers.
