Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has announced the commencement of the distribution of 1,880 prepaid meters to Band A customers under the Meter Asset Funds (MAF) Scheme.
The initiative, targeting Band A customers who ceased receiving electricity subsidies in April, aims to ensure accurate billing and enhance customer satisfaction.
Blessing Tunoh, YEDC’s Communications Officer, in a statement, said:
Punch reports that the distribution includes 1,500 single-phase and 380 three-phase meters, with installation scheduled from November 18 to November 30, 2024.
Approved vendors will oversee the installation process, which the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has sanctioned.
The MAF project, launched on June 13, 2024, is part of the broader Presidential Metering Initiative designed to accelerate metering across the country.
The statement added:
BusinessDay said YEDC reiterated its commitment to improving electricity distribution quality and delivering reliable, transparent customer service.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has revealed that Discos who breach certain contractual obligations to regulators and customers would face additional penalties.
According to an Order on Performance Monitoring Framework for All DisCos, this will impact seven issues that would be used to evaluate each DisCo’s performance.
The new order sought to hold the top management of each DisCo accountable for their compliance with reporting requirements and implementation of commission directives in line with the utility’s terms and conditions.
