Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) recently made a definitive decision regarding the University of Benin’s request to change its electricity supply category.

BEDC firmly declined the university’s proposal to transition to Band B, stating that only Band A, characterized by uninterrupted power supply ranging from 20 to 24 hours daily, is available for consideration.

In contrast, Band B offers a slightly reduced but still substantial supply of 16 to 20 hours of electricity per day, while Band C provides a minimum of 12 hours and up to 16 hours daily.

This decision underscores BEDC’s adherence to stringent service standards aimed at ensuring consistent and reliable electricity distribution across its diverse customer base, including educational institutions like the University of Benin.
