The Tariff Value Chain: A Study of Three Customers of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company

Abstract

In this paper, we do a detailed analysis of consumption trends and applicable tariffs for three randomly selected customers (each representing a consumer class) of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (DisCo). The consumer classes studied are of the following types: residential(R), commercial(C) and industrial(D) all of whom are present in the Enugu demographics. We correlate the power credits against the power consumption over a period of one year, we also predict the limit at which the tariff structure of a typical DisCo may be impacted by consumers exploiting the fixed tariff structure.
