Mrs. Rekhiat Momoh, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), has revealed the intention to lead a comprehensive, network-wide awareness campaign aimed at combating energy theft in various forms, seeking customers’ support to eradicate all illegal activities within its network.

Mrs Momoh, in a statement obtained by Advisors Reports, said, “Energy theft is a menace that we need to eliminate in our network and the power sector.

She said, “We lose billions annually to it and it affects our ability to invest in network expansion and infrastructure upgrade required to bring the desired stable power supply.”

 

She further advocated against vandalism of the firm’s installations, appealing to customers, communities and other stakeholders to get involved in safeguarding the equipment meant for public use.

Eko DisCo explained that energy theft, which includes meter bypass and tampering, illegal connections, and tampering with electrical infrastructure, has been identified as a significant challenge facing Nigeria’s power sector.

 

EKEDC estimates that these unlawful activities result in substantial lost revenue annually, ultimately affecting the company’s ability to invest in network improvements and provide quality service to paying customers.

The DisCo noted that energy theft also results in severe safety hazards by illegal channels to utilize electricity.

The primary objectives of the EKEDC awareness campaign, according to the statement, involves educating and sensitizing the public about the detrimental effects of energy theft on their community and the company.

EKEDC emphasised that the campaign will also highlight the legal repercussions and safety hazards associated with illegal connections and tampering with electrical installations.

The company also stated its plan to  collaborate with local communities, stakeholders, and government authorities to foster a collective responsibility towards safeguarding the power infrastructure.

The company stated that the town hall meetings and road shows will be held to ensure the message gets to the nooks and crannies of its franchise area.

Eko DisCo said that the campaign will encourage customers to report any suspected cases of energy theft through the official channels as well as reporting anonymously via the whistleblowing channels (whistleblower@ekedp.com, 08000033333).
