Eko Electricity Distribution Plc has unveiled the EKEDP Power App, a digital platform aimed at giving customers greater control, visibility and convenience in managing their electricity consumption.

The app enables users to purchase electricity tokens, pay bills, transfer units, monitor energy usage, manage service requests and access multiple electricity services through a single platform.

According to the company, the initiative is designed to simplify electricity management for consumers in Lagos and surrounding areas by reducing the delays and fragmented processes often associated with power service delivery.

In a statement jointly signed by the Head of Department, Client and MDA Management, Ejiro Olaleye, and the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Operations Strategy and Corporate Development, Olumide Jerome, EKEDP said the application goes beyond the standard digital platforms currently offered within the electricity distribution sector.

Olaleye said the platform was developed to help customers actively manage their electricity consumption with greater confidence and efficiency.

“With the EKEDP Power App, customers move from simply using electricity to actively managing their power with greater confidence and control,” she said.

She encouraged customers within the company’s coverage areas to adopt the platform in order to better track and manage their power usage.

The development comes as electricity distribution companies continue to expand digital solutions following the unbundling of the former National Electric Power Authority and the subsequent creation of regional distribution companies.

EKEDP provides electricity distribution services across the southern part of Lagos State and Agbara in Ogun State. Its operational network is divided into 12 districts, including Agbara, Ojo, Festac, Ijora, Mushin, Orile, Apapa, Lekki, Ibeju, Islands, Ajah and Ajele.

Customers across these districts are expected to benefit from the new digital solution as the company pushes to improve customer experience and operational efficiency.
