AEDC is very ineffective. No prepaid meter. Always disturbing with estimated bills. Cutting light if estimated bill is not paid. |

If the government want the power sector to be really transformed then the government should purchase enough metres n make sure every consumer is connected to a metre while the consumers pay for the metre over time gradually, the way the sector is right now is certainly not encouraging to investors simple. |

positivetaught:Why must it be the government that would buy the meters? why can't the Discos buy them and come up with a payment plan by the customers. Do you know that you have to bribe their officials to get the meters? They are reluctantly rejecting power generated by gencos claiming they can't recoup the money if they distribute. Bottomline is all these politicians playing with power sector are not serious, simply because they never payed enough to acquire the investments. 1 Like |

buoye1:Actually it will solve it. The main headache of discos is collecting payment for customers, the prepaid meter customers are the easiest part, they pay before service. The few that bypass the meter can be policed by the same staff who go about collecting payment from non-metered customers. Do you know how many power is wasted between discos and gencos because the discos reject the power? For example if they are to double electricity distribution, those with prepaid meter will automatically consume double their units. But those without the meter won't agree to pay double. |

EazyMoh:you have a strong n valid point there but again just as you pointed out in other to avoid excuses n excessive exploitation from the discos government need to do it,besides it's government responsibilities to defend the public interest, the metres are not going to be free n government will then have the leverage to apply some coercion on the discos also,I still think that critically the government should do it. |

There are smart prepaid meters that can be installed outside the house. They can also have monitoring teams that can carry out scheduled inspections on installed meters. buoye1: |

EazyMoh:I agree with your points bro, it's difficult monitoring because some just put a resistor inside... You wouldn't even know save you loose the meter... But metering every customer will go a long way 1 Like |
