- Why does my electricity cost more sometimes? Tariffs may change based on your band and the current energy pricing by your DisCo.
- What does Band A mean in terms of daily supply? Band A typically means you're expected to receive 20+ hours of power daily, though actual delivery may vary.

- Can LightNG help me determine my current band? Yes. Once you input your meter number, our system can often identify your DisCo and show your current band if supported.
- Why am I on a higher band but not getting steady light? Your DisCo assigns bands based on infrastructure availability. If your supply is inconsistent, report it to your DisCo for review.
- Are estimated bills affected by my band? Yes, even estimated bills are tied to your band and expected service levels. Always review your bills and report discrepancies.
