The Management of Northern Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (NEDCo) has declared its intention to embark on a revenue generation exercise across its operational areas.
The exercise, which is expected to take place on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, will cover all categories of customers in arrears, including State-Owned Enterprises, Ministries, Departments and Agencies, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies.
A statement issued by NEDCo said special security arrangements will be put in place to arrest and prosecute anyone who interferes with the exercise.
It also warned that anyone identified to be engaged in illegal connections or reconnections will equally be dealt with in accordance with the law.
The statement said NEDCo’s Head Office and Area Offices will be closed temporarily to allow for the full engagement of all staff, including top Management in this exercise.
The NEDCo said in the statement that its customer service centres, zonal offices and third-party vendors will however remain open to address customer concerns including reconnections.
It also said recalcitrant customers who have refused to redeem their indebtedness to the Company after they have been served with Demand Notices will be arraigned before Court.
It therefore encouraged in arrears to pay their bills immediately to avoid disconnection and payment of reconnection fees.
It called for maximum cooperation for this exercise to be successful.
