The Yola Electricity Distribution Company has declared that 1,880 prepaid meters will be deployed to Band A consumers as part of the Meter Asset Funds Scheme.
The initiative seeks to guarantee accurate billing and improved customer satisfaction for Band A customers who stopped receiving electricity subsidies in April.
“Yola Electricity Distribution Company is pleased to announce the commencement of providing meters under the Meter Acquisition Funds programme. This initiative, targeting unmetered Band A customers within YEDC’s franchise area, is part of our ongoing efforts to provide accurate billing and improve customer satisfaction,” read a statement signed by the company’s Communications Officer, Blessing Tunoh, on Tuesday.
The distribution process, which has received approval from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, includes 1,500 single-phase meters and 380 three-phase meters. Installation will be carried out by approved vendors from November 18 to November 30, 2024.
Launched on June 13, 2024, the MAF project forms part of the Presidential Metering Initiative, designed to accelerate nationwide metering for electricity consumers.
“The meters under this framework will be installed at no cost to YEDC customers. We urge all Band A customers to cooperate with the installers visiting their homes and business premises during the metering exercise,” the statement added.
YEDC reiterated its dedication to improving the quality of energy distribution and offering all consumers reliable, transparent services.
