M3AC, IBEDC partner on accelerated metering

MOJEC Meter Asset Management Company ( M3AC) has part - nered the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company ( IBEDC) to meter interested customers in 24 hours through the Meter Asset Provider ( MAP) programme.

The programme is a continuation of phase two of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission

( NERC)- approved MAP’ initiative, created on the mantra ‘ metering at your doorstep’.

The initiative is aimed at consolidating the rigorous general meter installation process that includes know your customers ( KYC), survey, payment, acquisition and installation under 24 to 48 hours.

Team Lead, M3AC, Titilope Oyelade, disclose d this dur - ing the launch of the scheme at the Sango business unit. He said the mobile MAP initiative would run in the next two months across the various business units of the distribution companies ( Discos) who M3AC currently partners with.

“Each Disco is expected to meter at least 100,000 customers under the initiative,” she stated.

She added that M3AC initiated the Mobile MAP scheme as a response to persistent calls by consumers who want pre- paid meters to save them from the menace of estimated billings and other under- table dealings they consider extorting.

Oyelade explained that the process of meter acquisition has been so simplified that all interested customers need to do is register via Disco’s website.
