LESCO is Replacing Damaged and Burnt Electricity Meters With Old Ones

LESCO is beginning the installation of old electricity meters in place of damaged, burnt, or removed meters. Reports indicate that lab tests have been conducted on single-phase and three-phase meters removed due to net metering and net billing. Good condition meters from the lab tests will be swapped with defective-code meters, while the process of installing old meters has already started at all LESCO offices.

Replacement of burnt and damaged meters is ongoing as well. NEPRA rules mandate that burnt meters be replaced without extra charges to consumers, but the lack of approval for a budget to purchase AMI smart meters has led to the company's decision to install conventional old meters. LESCO is proceeding with the installation and replacement of meters at the office level, with further action on net metering and net billing cases contingent on the available lab reports.
