Enugu Disco threatens to disconnect indebted customers

Enugu Electricity Distribution has threatened to disconnect all indebted customers.

In a statement on its social media handles on Friday, the Disco said it would embark on massive disconnection of indebted customers, asking them to pay to avoid being disconnected.

“The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company wishes to inform its esteemed customers that it will be embarking on massive disconnection of indebted customers.

“Consequently, customers are advised to promptly pay their electricity bills before the disconnection team gets to their premises, as failure to do so will attract a reconnection fee in addition to the outstanding amount,” the company warned.

It added that customers could pay their bills at the EEDC cash offices or any collection agent location nearest to them, stressing that 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, and customers that have arrears should endeavour to clear their bills or take advantage of our ongoing discount scheme – ASAP,” the EEDC stated.

It enjoined the affected customers to pay your bills promptly and save themselves of the inconvenience of being disconnected or surcharged.

“EEDC can only sustain its operations and service to its esteemed customers when electricity bills are paid.

“EEDC is committed to serving you and wants you to help us serve you better,” the statement concluded.

In June, Eastern state governments disagreed with the Disco when it threatened to disconnect them.
