The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has set the target of metering an estimated 500, 000 customers within its franchise areas in three years at the cost of $150 million.
Fielding questions from journalists after the flag-off of the DisCo’s free mass metering exercise at the Abuja Investment Estate in Apo, Abuja recently, the managing director and chief executive officer of AEDC, Mr Ernest Mupwaya, noted that with the flag-off performed, metering in all other areas within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has begun simultaneously.
Speaking on the DisCo’s plan for the whole of its franchise areas, Mr Mupwaya said, “In total, we are estimating 500, 000 customers to be covered with meters of various capacities, 2-phase, 3-phase, Maximum Demand (MD) among others, which will cost within the region of US$ 150 million.”
