The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has urged electricity consumers under it’s network to register for the on-going National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) in order to benefit from the free meter distribution programme.
The NMMP, which commenced in October 2020, is an initiative of the Federal Government in collaboration with the Electricity Distribution Companies (Discos) and the local meter manufacturers to bridge the metering gap in the country by providing smart meters to all electricity consumers.
The Company’s Corporate Communications General Manager, Godwin Idemudia in a statement to SlyNews said the programme started with pre-installation survey, followed by installation of meters for the customers.
“Customers who are yet to register are advised to visit EKEDC official website and fill the application form via www.ekedp.com/ordermeter to benefit from the programme,” he stated.
Idemudia reiterated that metering under this programme is free as customers are not to pay any amount to be metered.
He said “we want to repeat that metering under this programme is absolutely free and all our customers should not at any point pay any amount to our staff or partners for the purchase of meters. The form is free and can be accessed on our website as mentioned above. If anyone makes any demands from you, please report to us immediately for swift action.”
