The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has concluded plans to commence the metering of customers on "Band A" feeders across its network through its mobile MAP metering initiative. The exercise, which is expected to kick off in Enugu on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, will focus on EEDC customers served by "Band A" feeders under its Ogui, Awkunanaw, and Abakpa districts.

The Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr. Emeka Ezeh, who made this known through a press statement, said that the Mobile MAP metering approach is part of efforts by EEDC to ensure that customers under "Band A" are metered within 48 hours. According to him, the company adopted this approach to ensure that the affected customers, who enjoy minimum of 20 hours of electricity can begin to manage their energy consumption and pay for what they consume.

The customers are expected to visit the locations with a valid form of identification such as drivers' license, voters card, NIN or international passport and a copy of their bills. Officials of EEDC are then expected to assist them with the MAP application process and installation of the meter will be made once payment is confirmed.

Unmetered customers, especially those under service "Band A" were urged to take advantage of the program and get metered, bearing in mind that they will be reimbursed with the value of the cost of the meter through energy over a period.
