The Yola Electricity Distribution Company has slashed the bills of customers in Taraba State by 50 per cent in February.
A staff of the power distribution company, Hanawa Rufus, who is the Taraba Area Head of the company made the announcement while speaking with newsmen in Jalingo on Monday.
He said slashing of the bills implied that customers would be charged half of what they paid in January.
The area head said the cut in charges was prompted by low supply of electricity to customers.
Rufus said the three-week blackout in February was due to low supply of power to the company.
The official said Taraba State, needing about 110 megawatts monthly, only received between 30 to 40 megawatts.
He said Jalingo, needing 20 megawatts, had two to three megawatts during the period.
On prepaid meters, the area manager said the company had distributed over 1,000 meters to customers since July 2014.
