The Eko Electricity Distribution Company has advised customers to register for the new pre-paid meters to stop allegations of arbitrary billing by the PHCN.
Mr Godwin Idemudia, the company’s Assistant General Manager, Public Affair Division, said on Wednesday that it was to the customers’ advantage to apply for the Credit Advance Payment for Metering Implementations (CAPMI).
He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the CAPMI would curb incessant complaints about PHCN bills.
Idemudia said that the installation of CAPMI meters had commenced since July, adding that more than 1000 customers within the zone had started using them.
The general manager said that the CAPMI scheme was an intervention designed by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to eliminate problems of “estimated“ billing.
He said that the company was working to ensure that the CAPMI pre-paid meters were installed for willing customers within two weeks of request.
