The Federal Government's electricity tariff subsidy obligation stood at N1.92 trillion in 2025, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission. The subsidy covers the gap between cost-reflective tariffs and actual customer rates. NERC's 2025 industry report indicates the subsidy represented 57.44 percent of the total Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading invoice, averaging N160.69 billion monthly. The figure declined slightly from N1.949 trillion in 2024, despite a government directive to freeze customer electricity tariffs.
