Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has launched the Standard Transfer Specification (STS) 2.0 meter upgrade for its metered customers.

Mr Babatunde Lasaki, the company’s General Manager Corporate Communications and Strategy, revealed the upgrade in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.

Lasaki said the upgrade is necessary due to the impending expiration of the current sales platform.

He said the transition aims to provide customers with a more advanced and efficient metering system.

He added that to benefit from the upgrade, customers are advised to follow these steps:

Visit and enter your meter number.

Click “Search” to retrieve two sets of 20-digit Key Change Tokens (KCT).

Enter the first KCT and press “Enter”, then enter the second KCT and press “Enter” to complete the upgrade.

He added that alternatively, customers can receive KCTs when purchasing electricity units; two KCTs will come with their usual token, which must be charged to complete the upgrade.

Lasaki, while urging customers to complete the upgrade before November 24, reminded them to load all previously purchased tokens before beginning the process.

He said: “We encourage our customers to load all existing tokens before applying KCTs, as old tokens will no longer work on upgraded meters.

“For assistance, customers can visit any EKEDC district or zonal office, where support services are available. EKEDC staff will also be on hand to assist you on Saturday, November 2 and 9.

Lasaki stressed that the upgrade process is free, urging customers not to pay anyone for the service.
