The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has announced the successful completion and deployment of its integrated billing system, SuperEdge. This new system is designed to enhance prepaid vending, postpaid billing and collection services, as well as Meter Data Management System (MDMS) operations.
Key Features of SuperEdge
According to the company, the initiative is part of EEDC's ongoing commitment to leveraging technology to improve operational efficiency and deliver a more convenient, seamless, and customer-focused service experience through the platform's self-service features. Customers of EEDC's subsidiary distribution companies, including MainPower, TransPower, FirstPower, EastLand, and NewEra, are expected to benefit from the enhanced capabilities of the SuperEdge platform.
EEDC's head of Corporate Communications, Emeka Ezeh, stated that the system enables customers to authenticate payment receipts by simply scanning a QR code. He added that customers can also conveniently generate receipts for previous payment transactions and make energy bill payments via SMS code or bank transfer.
“In addition, the self-service platform allows customers to purchase electricity tokens, regenerate Key Change Tokens (KCT), apply for meters, retrieve details of their last token purchase, check outstanding arrears, and interact directly with customer service representatives,” Ezeh added.
How to Access Services
To access these services, customers are advised to save 08150826233 on their mobile phones and connect via WhatsApp by sending “100” as a message. Meanwhile, arrangements are in the final stages for the commencement of E-billing (electronic billing) by June 2026. Ezeh said that with the introduction of the service, customers would receive their monthly energy bills directly via email or mobile phones, thereby eliminating the need for physical bill distribution.
He encouraged customers to update their records with the company by completing the Know Your Customer (KYC) form and providing their current phone numbers and email addresses to enjoy the service.
System Upgrade Schedule
To ensure a smooth go-live implementation, a major system upgrade that would involve the temporary shutdown of the vending platform will commence on Friday, 22nd May 2026, by 6:00 p.m. for postpaid customers and at 12:00 midnight for prepaid customers. “During this period, customers will be unable to make payments, recharge prepaid meters, or purchase energy tokens. Normal services are expected to resume by 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, 24th May 2026,” he said.
It will be recalled that the first phase of the project, which focused on prepaid customers, was implemented in February 2024 in compliance with the Standard Transfer Specification (STS) prepaid meter upgrade.
