The Jos Electricity Distribution Plc,has stepped up moves to end estimated billing in its franchise areas following weekend’s launch of mobile Meters Access Providers (MAP).
The power firm launched the meters in partnership with Mojec Company.
At the launch in Jos, the Managing Director of the power firm,Alhaji Mammanlafia Umar, implores customers desiring meters to take advantage of the current metering programme, stressing that the exercise was running concurrently in Bauchi, Benue and Gombe states.
Represented by the Chief Commercial, Engr Mansir Nakande, the company’s boss announced that the cost of the meters would be amortised, as it was working towards metering all its customers.
He said:“All our customers without meters are insisting that they are being overcharged. We cannot say with certainty that customers are right or wrong. There are a lot of challenges with estimation.Any month the customer comes to buy a unit, we will refund the customer with the unit. For example, if you buy a unit of N2000 you will be given a unit worth N3000 until the money is fully refunded”
