“Customers who are interested in the programme are required to visit the designated locations with a copy of their electricity bill and a valid means of identification.
“Customers who are unable to participate in the mobile programme can still walk into any of the company’s district offices or visit the official website to apply for a meter through the standard application process.
“Our goal is to ensure more of our customers are metered and are able to manage their energy consumption,” he added.
He further assured customers that there were no extra or hidden charges involved in the process other than the payment for the meter.
The spokesman said, “Customers are encouraged to report any form of extortion by using its established whistle blowing line (08146026678).
“The company encouraged unmetered customers within the specified districts to take advantage of this metering programme to get metered faster.”
