The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued a recommendation for prepaid metre customers to ensure the timely updating of their metres prior to November 2024.
The National Environmental Research Council disseminated the latest information on its official X platform, previously known as Twitter on Tuesday.
According to the electrical regulatory commission, it has been stated that the next upgrade, which will be provided at no cost, would not have any impact on the existing prepaid units of consumers.
The statement read, “If you have a prepaid meter, it may be time for an update. From November 2024, you may not be able to recharge your meter. However, updating is easy and free. DisCos shall commence issuance of two free Key Change Tokens (KCTs) which will update your meter.
“The update will not affect the units in your meter nor will it make your meter run faster than usual. Contact your DisCo for more information.”
