BENEFITS OF A PREPAID METER

Thank God, the prepaid metering scheme is now in the

country. Rather than rejecting the meter, please accept them

and replace all existing analog meters with these. The prepaid

meters gives the following benefits:

• No one needs to read your meter before you are billed.

• You don.t need to search for or wait for your energy bill

again.

• You can determine and control how much you spend on

monthly electricity bill.

• As long as the meter is not tampered with (and you

wouldn.t do such because it is a crime to do so) you have

no business entertaining PHCN official in your place.

• No one dare threaten you with disconnection notices and

attempts. The fear of getting back home and meeting

your electricity supply line disconnected from the pole is

over.

• No need for fear of theft as the meters are programmed

for every customer uniquely.

• What more, you can even purchase in your name even

when you are in a rented apartment .cos the meter can

be transferred when you move to another location

without stress. Just inform the Utility company and let

everything be done formally and according to procedure.

• When power fails the meter doesn.t bill you, and as long

as electric supply is off, your money is not deducted

• The cost of acquiring the meters can also be spread

across months, making it easier for you to purchase. This

is an arrangement though for customers who are

receiving bills but have no meters installed due to theft,

damage or unavailability of the meters in the past
