Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) Monday says it
could provide customers in five states of the south-east with smart meters in
2017 to reduce complaints about high bills.
Emeka Eze, head, communication department for the electricity
distribution agency said this in Aba, Abia state.
According to him, the company had started providing meters in
Awkunanaw area of Enugu state assuring that other states will gradually be
metered.
His words: “Metering is one major thing we are taking very
seriously in the New Year. Over N9 billion had been invested in metering
project so far in the last one year.
“The metering gap is quite huge and we do not have the resources
to provide meters for everybody at the same time.”
“We have more than 700,000 unmetered customers in our network. So it is something that will take us a while. The 700,000 are the ones we have in our books.
