EEDC moves to disconnect indebted customers

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company has called on its customers to pay their energy bill or risk disconnection from the network.
EEDC announced the move in a statement on Friday. It said postpaid customers were expected to pay their bills before the 15th day of the subsequent month.
It urged them to take advantage of the ongoing discount scheme known as Accelerated Settlement of Arrears Project, and clear their bill arrears.
EEDC warned it would soon embark on disconnection of indebted customers, warning that reconnection attracts a penalty.
According to him, the current electricity bill, which is for energy consumed in the previous month, is expected to be paid by the 15th day of the succeeding month.
“Payments can be made at EEDC cash offices or any collection agent location. Customers must not wait for marketers to visit before they pay their bills.
“Promptly pay your bills and save yourself the inconveniences of being disconnected or surcharged,” the electricity firm said.
