Power in Your Hands: One Unit at a Time with Smart Metering for Smarter Living

What if you could see exactly how much electricity you’re using, when you’re using it, and how much it’s costing in real time? No guesswork. No estimated bills. No end-of-month surprises. Just clear, simple control over your energy use.

This is no test run. It’s the real thing.

We’re rolling out smart metering to change the way you experience electricity. This isn’t just a meter upgrade. It’s about giving you more control, more transparency, and a more convenient way to manage your power.

This rollout is part of the World Bank-supported Nigeria Distribution Sector Recovery Program (DISREP), a national initiative aimed at improving electricity distribution across Nigeria. Through this program, we will install smart meters to help bridge the metering gap and enhance service delivery across our network.

Why Smart Meters Matter

Smart meters are digital devices that provide accurate, real-time information about your energy usage. They help improve service delivery, eliminate estimated billing, and give you greater control over your electricity consumption.

With smart meters, you benefit from:

• Accurate Billing: You only pay for the electricity you actually use.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Track your usage by the day or hour and adjust to save.
  • Flexible Payments: Choose prepaid or postpaid billing to suit your lifestyle.
  • Remote Recharge: Recharging is simple and automatic. No need to enter tokens manually.
  • Faster Fault Resolution: Smart meters help us detect issues and respond quickly.
  • Better Energy Management: Get insight into your usage patterns and reduce waste.

Who Is Eligible?

The current rollout targets residential and commercial customers. We are focused on providing a seamless experience that increases convenience, accountability, and satisfaction in homes and businesses across our network.

How to Prepare for Installation

Installation is happening in phases across all our franchise areas. To make the process smooth and efficient, please:

• Allow our technicians access to your premises
  • Ensure the meter location is accessible and free of obstructions
  • Ensure someone is available during working hours

All our technicians carry official AEDC identification. To confirm the identity of anyone visiting your premises, please visit verifystaff.abujaelectricity.com.

Smart meter installation is completely free. You are not required to pay before, during, or after the process.

Making Payments and Managing Your Meter

Once installed, your smart meter connects seamlessly to our secure online platform at pay4energy.abujaelectricity.com. You can recharge your meter anytime, from anywhere.

Unlike traditional meters, smart meters receive purchased units remotely. You no longer need to input long recharge tokens manually. Your meter updates automatically after payment.

Smart meters also let you monitor your consumption in real time. You can plan ahead, avoid running out of power unexpectedly, and manage your energy more efficiently.

Additional features include:

• Automatic updates and diagnostics to detect and resolve issues quickly
• Tamper alerts to improve system integrity and prevent interference
• Consumption history tracking to help you manage usage across time
• Multiple meter management for customers with more than one property

What Customers Are Saying

Many customers who have received their smart meters report a better, easier electricity experience. One customer shared, “I can now check my usage and recharge easily. It helps me plan better.”

This upgrade is not just about new technology. It’s about improving how you live and interact with your electricity service.
