Dr. Sanda, who was represented at the customers’ engagement forum by Mrs. Rekhiat Momoh, Chief Commercial Official, commended the customers for their support and informed them of the rehabilitation projects by the company to improve power supply to the areas under the Agbara District.
According to her, the EKEDC has released some distribution transformers to replace the faulty and relieve the overloaded ones in the area under its network. She added that some electricity distribution infrastructures have been installed in the District to provide quality and reliable power supply within the Disco’s network.
She announced that EKEDC has signed a service level agreement with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to upgrade the capacity of some electricity distribution infrastructures to provide quality and reliable power supply within the Disco’s network.
Dr. Sanda assured the customers of prompt resolutions to their complaints and announced that EKEDC is about to commence a 72-hour metering exercise (mobile MAP) in Agbara District in September to step up the metering of customers without prepaid meters and put the issue of estimated billing to an end.
She further noted that the Meter Asset Providers(MAP) scheme was reintroduced by the industry regulator, NERC, to close the metering gap before the commencement of Phase 1 of the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
