The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission is encouraging users of prepaid meters to perform a meter update by November 2024.
The announcement was made by NERC on its social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), this Tuesday.
The commission emphasized that this update is cost-free and will not impact the existing prepaid units of users.
It further advised users to contact their Distribution Companies for more information as regards the update.
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.”
