The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has announced new pricing for an increase for prepaid meters installed under the Metre Asset Provider (MAP). The new pricing included the costs for single-phase and three-phase meters from six different MAP vendors.
In a statement posted on its official X account, EKEDC revealed that the cost of prepaid meters has been set between N129,000 and N247,000, depending on the vendor and the type of meter.
This is an increase from the previous prices of N118,698 to N240,000. MAPs are companies licensed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to procure and install meters for customers of Electricity Distribution companies.
The statement from EKEDC reads: “In line with NERC’s Order on Deregulation of Meter prices for the MAP Scheme, kindly see the new prices for single (one) and three phase meters (VAT inclusive).”

Meanwhile, EKEDC has urged customers without prepaid meters to register to eliminate estimated billing. Rekhiat Momoh, the acting chief executive officer of EKEDC, made this appeal during a customer engagement forum at the Ijora Business Unit in Lagos, which serves areas such as Otto, Iganmu, Ijora, Alaka, Iponri, Ebute Metta, Adekunle, Iwaya, Otto, Onike, Surulere, Yaba, and Ajegunle.
“Customers who are yet to register are advised to visit EKEDC’s official website and fill out the application form to benefit from the ongoing massive metering. “We have given matching orders to all meter vendors to install all backlogs with immediate effect to enable all customers to have access to prepaid meters.”
