The Benin Electricity Distribution Company has disclosed its plan to distribute 200,200 pre-paid meters to its customers in Delta State.
The company said the meters would be rolled out in the next two years under its Meter Asset Provider scheme.
A statement on Tuesday quoted the BEDC Executive Director of Commercial, Abu Ejoor, to have made this disclosure in Asaba during the inauguration of the MAP scheme.
Ejoor said the immediate beneficiaries of the meter rollout were customers within Asaba, such as NTA Road, Amechi Iyio Way, Anwai Road, Infant Jesus area, Borrow Pit community and Ibuzo town road.
He said the MAP scheme would reduce customers’ complaints about metering, wrong and estimated billings, which he hinted accounted for over 60 per cent of complaints.
Ejoor said in demonstration of its commitment to its customers, the BDEC had connected 112 communities without supply in its coverage areas to the national grid with 55 of such locations in Delta.
