Ikeja Electric shuts down billing channels, customers vending for upgrade

Ikeja Electric has announced the shutdown of its customers’ billing and vending channels and infrastructures for 48 hours between July 15 and July 17, 2022, to enable it to carry out a system upgrade.

Customers are therefore advised to take advantage of the days available before the upgrade to vend energy to avoid the upgrade’s effect, a statement by the DisCo said.

It said, “The upgrade will enhance easy customer access to account statement, improve customer experience with simple user interface, provide robust payment channel for ease of energy vending and settlement of bills amongst others.”

According to the statement, customers’ ability to perform the following under-listed functions on our platforms may be impeded during this upgrade period.
