FG assures meter upgrade won’t affect credit units

The Federal Government, yesterday, said the electricity meter upgrade process to be implemented by power distribution companies would not affect the credit units balance in the meters.

It disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja by the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency, stressing that NEMSA would ensure that all electricity meters and instruments deployed in the sector were of the right standard.

The Managing Director, NEMSA, Aliyu Tahir, in the statement assured that all electricity customers have nothing to fear as the meter upgrade process will not affect the credit unit balance on their meters.

Tahir disclosed this while reacting to the issue of Standard Transfer Specification for the upgrade of prepaid meters by means of Token Identifier rollover, which is set for commencement by the power distributors in Nigeria.
