The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has issued a critical reminder to electricity consumers nationwide, urging them to update their prepaid meters before the looming November 24, 2024, deadline.
In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, NERC stated:
“5 DAYS TO GO! Update your meters with a Key Change Token before the deadline on 24th November 2024! Don’t miss out—stay connected and enjoy uninterrupted power. Contact your DISCO today! Updating your meter is FREE.
The announcement emphasizes the importance of compliance to ensure continuous access to electricity. By generating and applying a Key Change Token (KCT), customers can bring their meters up to date with the latest software and regulatory standards.
The meter update is a crucial step in aligning with recent improvements in Nigeria’s electricity distribution system. It enhances billing accuracy, prevents technical glitches, and ensures the seamless delivery of prepaid electricity services. According to NERC, the update process is quick, free, and user-friendly.
1. Contact Your Distribution Company (DISCO): Reach out to your electricity provider for guidance on obtaining the Key Change Token.
2. Apply the Token: Enter the KCT into your prepaid meter following the instructions provided.
3. Stay Connected: Enjoy uninterrupted electricity supply without the risk of service disruption.
NERC is urging all Nigerians to act swiftly, stressing that failure to update meters before the deadline could lead to service interruptions. The regulatory body reassures customers that the process is entirely free and designed for their convenience.
With only a few days remaining, electricity consumers are encouraged to contact their respective DISCOs immediately to avoid last-minute rushes.
Stay connected, stay powered—let’s build a brighter and uninterrupted energy future for Nigeria.
