YEDC Begins Deployment of 1,880 New Meters for Band A Customers

Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has announced the commencement of providing meters under the Meter Acquisition Funds (MAF) program.

This initiative which is targeting unmetered Band A customers within YEDC’s franchise area, is part of ongoing efforts to providing accurate billing and improving customer satisfaction.

Following the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)'s approval of the MAF process, YEDC will deploy a total of 1,880 meters. 

This allocation, according to the release, comprises 1,500 single-phase meters and 380 three-phase meters as stated in release signed by Blessing Tunoh, Communications Officer.

The release added that the installation will be carried out by approved meter vendors over a two-week period, from November 18 to November 30, 2024.

"The MAF project is a special intervention under the Presidential Metering Initiative, launched on June 13, 2024, to accelerate metering for electricity consumers nationwide. 

"Importantly, meters procured under this framework will be installed at no cost to YEDC customers.

"We urge all Band A customers to cooperate with the installers visiting their homes and business premises during the metering exercise", it explained. 

She said YEDC is dedicated to enhancing the quality of electricity distribution and ensuring all customers receive reliable and transparent services.
