The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has advised prepaid meter users to upgrade their meters before November 2024.
The regulatory Commission, through a statement shared on its X handle (formerly Twitter), said the update, which is free of charge, would not affect the current prepaid units of users.
“If you have a prepaid meter, it may be time for an update. From November 2024, you may not be able to recharge your meter.
“However, updating is easy and free. DisCos shall commence issuance of two free Key Change Tokens (KCTs), which will update your meter.
“The update will not affect the units in your meter nor will it make your meter run faster than usual.
“Contact your DisCo for more information,” the statement read.
