Ikeja Electric Begins Mass Distribution Of Pre-Paid Meters
Editor
With the completion of the pilot scheme of the advanced meter installation phase, which began in June this year, Ikeja Electric is set to commence the second phase of the project.
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Abiodun Ajifowobaje, while speaking at a press conference, said that so far the company has been able to install more than 7,621 meters. He noted that the pilot scheme, which was carried out for a few months, was intended to identify the shortcomings of the initiative with a view to guide against hiccups that may arise as it begins the mass roll out.
Ajifowobaje said with the new meter, customers will get the privilege of enjoying better customer service delivery as issues arising from crazy billings will no longer occur. He added that the scope of the metering project is to deploy approximately 300,000 electric meters for residential, commercial and industrial customers between September 2015 and December 2016 with installation of about 12,000 meters monthly in already mapped out areas in all the Business Units of the Company.
