Important Update: KCT Delivery Commenced on November 1, 2023
Starting November 1, 2023, Ikeja Electric Distribution Company initiated the delivery of Key Change Tokens (KCTs) as part of the meter update process. Please take note of the following crucial information to ensure a seamless transition.
Impact of NIN Linkage:
Customers who fail to link their prepaid meters to their National Identification Number (NIN) will be unable to vend for electricity. It is essential to complete the NIN validation process on Ikeja Electric’s website to receive the necessary KCTs.
Step 1: NIN Validation
Follow these steps to link your NIN and update your Ikeja Electric meter:
-
Click on the "Link your NIN And Meter" button.
-
Input your phone number, NIN, and email address.
-
Confirm your NIN details; proceed if the information is correct.
-
Input your meter number and the verification code sent to your email, then click on submit.
Please note: Only one NIN can be linked to a meter, except for landlords with multiple meters, who can use their NIN repeatedly.
As an alternative, you can also visit Ikeja Electric's KCT Check to obtain your KCTs for the meter upgrade.
Step 2: STS Prepaid Meter Upgrade Process
To update your meter, follow these steps:
-
Acquire a Key Change Token (KCT) to be loaded onto your meter.
-
As of November 1st, 2023, upon vending, you will receive three sets of 20-digit tokens.
-
Input the first set of 20-digit tokens (KCT 1) to wipe off the old meter settings.
-
Input the second set of 20-digit tokens (KCT 2) to upgrade your meter to the new STS platform.
-
The last set of 20-digit tokens will load the purchased energy value into the meter.
Note: Only customers who have validated their NIN will receive the two sets of 20-digit tokens (KCT 1 & 2) at the point of vending from November 1, 2023.
The meter update process needs to be done only once. Once successfully completed, there is no need for repetition.
