MyPower offers customers the ability to manage accounts, make payments, lodge complaints and verify AEDC staff visits. As of June 30, 2026, AEDC had already reached an 81.38 per cent metering rate, with 1,142,283 out of 1,403,657 active registered customers equipped with meters. AEDC MD Chijioke Okwuokenye emphasized that the metering goal is part of a broader initiative to boost customer satisfaction and give consumers control over their electricity consumption.
