The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) says prepaid meter upgrade is free of charge to customers within the company’s franchise network in South-East.

Its Head, Corporate Communications of EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, who made this known to newsmen yesterday, said that it was regrettable that some yet-to-be identified individuals were going about extorting unsuspecting customers of their monies to have their meters upgraded.

Ezeh explained that all the customer needed to do to have the meters upgraded is to purchase token, which will come with the 20-digit Key Change Tokens (KCTs) needed to upgrade the meters.
