Ikeja Electric, one of the major electricity distribution companies (DisCos) in Nigeria, says it is deploying 85,000 new prepaid meters to bridge the metering gap in its business area.

In a statement seen by TheCable, the DisCo said this was done as part of its renewed commitment to deliver the yearnings of customers, and further close the metering gap within its network.

It added that “while abiding by the regulator’s guideline which states that all customers have a right to a properly installed and functional meter, and un-metered customer should be issued with electricity bills strictly based on NERC’s estimated billing methodology, it is also poised to reduce estimated billing with the deployment of prepaid meters”.

The DisCo said it had therefore commenced the “roll-out of 85,000 meters to cover residential customers across its six Business Units,” in its first batch of renewed metering drive.

The six business units include Ikeja, Abule-Egba, Akowonjo, Oshodi, Ikorodu and Shomolu .

According to Felix Ofulue, head, corporate communications, Ikeja Electric, the company remains resolute in its commitment to meter all its customers and narrow the metering gap as quickly as possible.

“Ikeja Electric wants to reassure customers and state clearly its plans to progressively reduce estimated billing thereby building customers trust in our services. At the moment, prepaid meters are being installed in different communities across the network,” he said.

“While in other localities, pre-installation activities are ongoing and between now and the end of the year we will have concluded the first batch of the deployment.

“We therefore urge our customers to be patient as our ultimate objective is to ensure that all our customers are eventually metered.”

The company explained that it is “adding its quota in narrowing the metering gap, as highlighted by various statistical information in the country.

The recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed an increase of 1.59 percent in the number of prepaid meter customers.

The federal government has consistently enjoined the DisCo to provide meters to customers in a bid to narrow the gap, reduce complaints of high consumption charges and estimated billing, in line with the Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act, 2005.

The truth is that, this development is from Buhari. Heard federal government is taking back phcn. Buhari is very sensitive to some simple and logical situations which is that ""if private can't fulfil their mandates of providing prepaid meters for every houses till this very moment, then the phcn privatization is nonsense and doesn't worth it hence trying to get it back which will enable him give directives that won't see any excuses being entertained ""
If buhari can get electricity right. Get every houses prepaid meter fixed. He stand a chance being elected for second term.

With increased distribution of prepaid meters to customers, PHCN would have no choice but to improve power supply. No power, no meter reading ; and no meter reading, no more yeye payment

You should be happy about this development, bro.

Hmmmmm! What a country loaded with SCAMS!

This is another side to the story which they wont tell you.
They came to our house and dropped a hand written note with a number to call if we are interested. Additionally they told my wife we need to pay 100k per household ( we are 5 flats).
The prepaid meter is 25k and the other 75k is supposedly to load your card when the meter is supplied.
In Buharis’ Nigeria a landlord to cough out 500k for 5 prepaid meter..

Of what use is pre paid meter without light? Just like a phone without battery

Make dat ticket cut reach come Ojo abeg. It's about time...

They know; hence the slower than snail pace at metering customers...
