Kaduna Electric begins mass meter installation

Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO), also known as Kaduna Electric, has begun mass meter installation in parts of Kaduna state.

A statement by Kaduna Electric’s Head of Corporate Communication, Abdulazeez Abdullahi, on Friday, said the mass metering would cover its four franchise states of Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi states. 

“Kaduna Electric has begun implementing the federal government’s National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) in some parts of Kaduna. The NMMP was launched in October and November last year in Kaduna and Birnin Kebbi respectively.”

Speaking further, Abdulazeez said, “80,000 meters were allocated to Kaduna Electric by the federal government under Phase Zero of the programme which is to be deployed in the four franchise states of the company. Meter deployment has started at MPH Estate, Millennium City and High Cost, Barnawa in Kaduna.

“Arrangements have been concluded with the Meter Asset Providers that will be working with Kaduna Electric to ensure all allocated meters are installed before the end of March.”

He urged customers who had had the meters installed in their premises to avoid bypassing or tampering with them as a stiff penalty awaits perpetrators.
