Trans Amadi Estate Residents Reject PHEDC s Metering Plan
× Trans Amadi Estate Residents Reject PHEDC s Metering Plan 10 March 2021
Residents of Trans Amadi Gardens Estate in Amadi-Ama, Port Harcourt, have rejected the new metering plan that the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) has proposed to them because, according to some residents, “it is one new way with which the power-supplying company wants to defraud us. They want to collect more money for less power units supplied”
Wife of a retired staff of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), Mrs. Carol Charles, told newsmen that last week, officials of PHEDC came to this Estate and proposed that they were bringing in new metres to replace their prepaid ones, which they rejected as unacceptable. Their collective position was re-echoed by the estate s management team, which replied PHEDC officials that the power cum payments situation here was stable and should not be distorted.
