The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), has called upon Nigerians using prepaid meters in homes and offices to update them before November 2024.
The regulatory body warns that users that fail to update their electricity prepaid meters before the stipulated date won’t be able to recharge them.
NERC, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said updating the prepaid meters attracts no cost.
NERC stated that electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) would start to issue free token to enable the update.
According to NERC: “If you have a prepaid meter, it may be time for an update,” the post partly read:
“From November, 2024, you may not be able to recharge your meter. However, updating is easy and free. DisCos shall commence issuance of 2 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.”
