Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has announced that it will be embarking on massive disconnection of indebted electricity customers in South-East.
Gatekeepers News reports that EEDC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Emeka Ezeh made the announcement through a statement released on Friday.
Ezeh noted that failure to pay the electricity bill by customers would attract a reconnection fee in addition to the outstanding amount being owed.
He said, “Customers can pay their bills at the EEDC Cash Offices or any collection agent location nearest to them, and they must not wait for the marketers to visit before they can pay their bills.”
“It is expected that the current electricity bill, which is for energy consumed in the previous month, is paid by the 12th day of the succeeding month.”
“Customers that have arrears should endeavour to clear their bills or take advantage of our ongoing discount scheme – ASAP.”
“Pay your bills promptly and on time and save yourself the inconveniences of being disconnected or surcharged.”
The EEDC official noted that EEDC could only sustain its operations and service to its customers when electricity bills are paid.
He added, “EEDC is committed to serving you and wants you to help us serve you better.”
