Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has encouraged customers without prepaid meters to apply forthwith, pledging to deliver and install the meters immediately in the on-going National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP), an initiative of the federal government in partnership with electricity distribution companies aimed at bridging the metering gap in the country.

In a statement signed by Godwin Idemudia, general manager, Corporate Communications, the electricity distribution company enjoined its customers to visit its website at https://ekedp.com/page/OrderMeter, complete the meter application forms online and submit immediately after completion to enable prompt delivery and installation.

According to reports, EKEDC, in the company of some of its Meter Asset Provider (MAPs) partners has ramped up the mass installations of meters across Lagos State. It was also gathered that the installations continued on Friday, 19th March at the residence of some of their customers in the Surulere and Mushin areas of the state.

Speaking further on the meter installations, Idemudia stated that the company wants to put an end to the estimated billing method which has generated a lot of complaints from customers, adding that the company is focused on channeling its energy and resources into making more power supply available to its esteemed customers.

“Many customers have benefitted from this mass metering programme and we want more customers to take advantage of this,” he noted.

Idemudia also urged customers to continually cooperate with the Company as more customer-focused initiatives are underway to make life easier for the customer in line with the company’s mantra as a customer-centric utility company aspiring to be the preferred choice of all stakeholders.
