The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company(AEDC) said it would resume metering its customers via the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) scheme in line with the policy of the Federal Government.

Mr. Donald Etim, AEDC’s Chief Marketing Officer, made this known during a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

Etim said that MAP was halted due to the operations of the National Mass Metering Programme (NNMP).

According to him, the MAP metering programme gives customers the option of paying for a meter while the money is refunded to them through the issuance of energy credit over a period of 36 months.

Etim said that the MAP scheme was in response to the efforts of AEDC to ensure that all customers were metered in line with the policy of the Federal government.

He added that the regulated price for a single-phase meter is N63,061.32 (VAT inclusive) while a three-phase meter goes for N117,910.69 (VAT inclusive).

He said that AEDC had put in place all that was required to ensure that customers processed their applications for a meter in a seamless way.

“Our customers are assured of seamless processing of their application for a meter.

“Customers are also assured of the fact that meters will be installed within 10 days of the receipt of their application for a meter.

“To get a meter under this scheme, AEDC customers are required to apply by registering on the company’s website at www.abujaeletricity.com

“After which a site verification is conducted, payment notification is then sent to the customer, and finally metering of the customer’s property is executed all in these four simple steps,” he said.

Etim also advised customers to interact with AEDC via any of its communication channels.

He said that AEDC had also provided a platform for Direct Vending and that platform for direct vending was AEDC’s bid to enhance customers’ experience.
