Insecurity:EEDC   Begins New  Revenue Drive 

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Plc(EEDC),will today begin intensive revenue drive across its franchise area.

The exercise  will last till Saturday, 29th January, 2022,according to a statement by the company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Emeka Ezeh.

He explained that the revenue drive is to enable the company cover up for the lost days experienced in the month of January, occasioned by the imposed sit-at-home order and insecurity situation in the South East,which  has impacted his company’s revenue and efficient operation.

According to him, the exercise will entail visits by officials of the company to its customers for payment of their energy bills, as well as disconnection of those that are indebted.

He explained that the   move became necessary to enable EEDC effectively sustain its operations and provide quality services to its customers.

He added that  the development will enable the company pay for energy it imported and meet up with its obligations to the Market Operators and other stakeholders.

Ezeh implored the company’s  customers to cooperate with the officials that will be visiting their premises during the period of the drive.

He said: “It is pertinent to note that the power sector cannot effectively operate if energy bills are not paid by customers.To avoid being disconnected, customers are advised to visit the EEDC cash offices nearest to them or any of the collection agents within their locality, to pay their bills.Payments can also be made through the various online channels, these include: EEDC Connect, Energy Pay (via EEDC website: www.enugudisco.com), Bank Apps, etc”.
