The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), has re-launched the Meter Assets Providers Scheme (MAPS), which will enable electricity consumers to pay upfront for energy through the prepaid meter option.
This followed the directive of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, that electricity consumers should be given the choice to purchase meters.
The Chief Operating Officer (COO), of IBEDC, Mr John Ayodele, while speaking during the programme in Ibadan said the scheme would put an end to the issue of estimated billing that has been causing grievances between electricity consumers and distribution companies.
Represented by the Head, Strategy and Corporate Performance, Mr Peter Oni, Mr Ayodele disclosed that customers who subscribe to the MAPS, would get a refund of the cost of the meter through the same amount of energy credit over a period of 36 months.
Also speaking, the Senior Communications Officer of IBEDC, Mr Frank Williams, said the scheme would ensure mass metering for Nigerians and also empower them to determine how they pay and make use of energy.
