LERC Approves New Social Tariff Threshold

The Board of Commissioners (BoC) of the Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission (LERC) has approved a request from the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), for a change in the Social Tariff threshold from 50kWh to 25kWh monthly. This change does not affect the tariff for residential customers but the threshold. All residential customers on LEC’s network who purchase or consume 25kWh monthly are still charged US$0.15 per kWh.
