You are probably on this page because you want to learn how to acquire a new prepaid meter from the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC). I want to assure that you are in the right place. In less than 3 minutes, I'm going to walk you through the processes involved in getting a new prepaid meter from the EKEDC.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) uses the Meter Asset Providers (MAP) scheme to procure and install prepaid meters for its customers.
The MAP scheme was introduced by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to allow easy procurement of prepaid meters and to put an end to arbitrary billings. The EKEDC explained the MAP scheme as a framework "designed to fast track closure of the end-user metering gap with a goal of eliminating the practice of "estimated billing " excepting exceptional cases envisaged under the regulation".
After using up the electric units on your prepaid meter, you can always recharge anytime, without visiting the EKEDC office or business unit. Here is a detailed guide on how to recharge your prepaid meter online.
The approved price for EKEDC prepaid meter under the MAP framework is #36,991.50 for a single-phase meter and #67,055.85 for a three-phase prepaid meter. (VAT not inclusive).
It should be noted that prepaid meters acquired through the MAP scheme cannot be moved from one property to another by the customer. In a situation where a customer relocates to another apartment after purchasing an EKEDC prepaid meter, such customer is required to contact the EKEDC DISCO. Once the Eko Electric is notified, they will update their database and authorize the transfer of the prepaid balance to the customer's new location.
