The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has begun recovering excess electricity units earlier credited to some customers following an internal system glitch that mistakenly applied an old tariff to their accounts.

The company disclosed this in a public announcement on its handles, explaining why some customers were lamenting over the reduction in what they got for units recently purchased.

The company explained that the error occurred between April and June 2026 and resulted in affected customers receiving more electricity units than they had actually paid for.

According to IBEDC, the development was responsible for some customers receiving fewer units than expected during recent vending.
