The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has issued a notice to all prepaid meter users, urging them to update their meters before November 2024.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the commission clarified that this update will be provided at no cost to the users and will not impact their current prepaid units.

It further advised users to contact their Distribution Companies for more information as regards the update.

“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.”
