Kaduna Electric is set to begin installation of 5,608 meters for customers on Band A feeders under first phase of the Meter Acquisition Fund (MAF) programme.
The installation covers the metering gap,on the company’s Band A feeders,while there are also plans to replace all faulty and obselete meters on the selected feeder.
Besides,the network upgrades along the meter deployment will also ensure that customers continue enjoying our services more effectively.
According to the Head of Metering Projects, Abba Aliyu Maiborno, the MAF metering programme has the potential to significantly reduce challenges Kaduna Electric faces such as Aggregate Technical, Commercial, and Collection (ATC&C).
He said Kaduna Electric’s metering team has finalised the Know Your Customer (KYC) exercise on feeders identified for the installation to gather vital information to ensure the success of the exercise.
He implored customers to cooperate with the teams by obliging them with the required data.
The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), introduced the Meter Acquisition Fund (MAF) to reduce the metering gap and improve electricity service delivery across the country.
The initiative,overseen by NERC, pools contributions from all Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) into a central fund to procure and deploy meters at no cost to customers.
The Meter Acquisition Fund initiative represents a significant step forward in addressing the nation’s metering challenges, promoting transparency, and delivering improved energy efficiency to customers.
