KEDCO ready to upgrade pre-payment meters at franchise area

The management of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) announced on Thursday that it would begin a system upgrade on pre-payment metres (PPM) involving token identifier (TID) rollover at its franchise areas.

This is contained in a statement issued by the company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Sani Bala Sani, on Thursday in Kano.

Sani said the system and pre-payment metres upgrade were necessary to enhance security and reliability.

“KEDCO, therefore, notified the PPM customers that they would soon be required to input key-change tokens (KCT1 and KCT2) into their metres for the implementation of the upgrade.

He explained that the key change tokens were free and would not affect the current electricity tariff, noting that they were specifically designed for the upgrade to facilitate the migration to the newer system.

“The issuance and input of key-change tokens would commence in December 2023.

“During this period, be assured that our customer service team will be available

throughout the process to address any query you may have.

“While assuring you that this upgrade is essential to deliver a more robust and

efficient metre system, we thank you for your trust in us as we look forward to serving you better with an enhanced metering system.
