I consider people still using the old model lucky. No need to upgrade to the new ones that will drain your credit units balance in the meter like the way MTN drains data 16 Likes |

First, Nigerians don't trust Govt again because of several betrayals in the past eg case of INEC & electronic transmission. Second, the actual meter upgrade may not take more than 5mins, but NEPA will remove your meter, then put you on high estimated bill for several months before returning your meter. Third, after the upgrade, no guarantee that meter will not start billing you higher. 34 Likes 2 Shares |

Do what needs to be done but k!ll that initial nonsense about physically removing the prepaid meters to upgrade them then placing the consumer on estimated billing. That is unacceptable despite some miscreants blindly supporting such action. If the metres must be manually upgraded, then they should be done at the residence & immediately reinstalled. If replacement is required, bring the replacement & fix it immediately. 31 Likes |

November 2024 Time still dey. NERC should also tell us in plain English the real purpose of the upgrade. That would allay the fears of subscribers. Lack of proper communication is the reason for all these suspicions. It's not enough to just tell us you are upgrading the meters. For what reason? 9 Likes 2 Shares |

The meter update, or token identifier (TID) rollover as it is known, is necessary due to a Y2K-style date rollover issue baked into the code of the meters. When prepaid meters were being designed, the decision was made to attach a section of the 20-digit number that users enter into their prepaid electricity meters to the minute that the token was bought. This is one way that the tokens are made unique, which is essential as two users cannot be given the same electricity credit token to enter into their meters. This is a functional system, but there is a catch. There were only so many minutes that could be attached to a token before the number that users entered into their meters became too long. This means that all of the STS-compliant prepaid electricity meters that have been rolled out since 1 January 1993, when prepaid electricity meters began operating, came with a built-in expiry date. There are a total of 224 minutes that can be attached to a token. That is equal to over 16 million minutes, a little over 279 thousand hours, 11 650 days, or 31.89 years. Counting that forward from 1 January 1993 gets you to 24 November 2024. After this date, prepaid electricity meters will no longer be able to accept new electricity credit tokens as there will no longer be any new minutes that the token can be attached to. If the prepaid meters are to remain functional beyond this date, they need to be updated 2 Likes |

Come and upgrade it in the residence of the owners otherwise, it won't work. November 2024 is still far, by then Tinubu will stop being the President and this issue of upgrade would have been gone. I think the upgrade is to guide against bypassing. So when anyone bypasses, it automatically locks. 1 Like |
