EEDC dissociates self from Solar Panel distribution
The management of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has dissociated itself from Solar Panel sales and distribution and thus cautioned its customers to be mindful of activities of some unidentified persons parading as staff of EEDC.
The unidentified persons, according to the electricity distribution company, visit homes of unsuspecting customers, issuing them application forms for subscription of solar panel and collecting amounts ranging from N7,500.00 from them for this purpose.
“EEDC wishes to dissociate itself from this criminal activity and reiterates its primary responsibility of marketing and distributing electricity within the south-east,” a statement from the company and signed by its Head, Communications said.
“We therefore have no business with marketing, distribution or installation of solar panel.
“This is an organised scam by some elements in our society, and we call on the general public to beware of this ugly trend and avoid being duped of their hard-earned money.
The statement urged customers to report any individual impersonating as staff of EEDC, marketing solar panel to the nearest police station for arrest and prosecution.
“Electricity customers are encouraged to always call EEDC’s call centre or visit its district office or service centre nearest to them to verify and ascertain the authenticity of any innovation or offering when in doubt.
“They should also ensure that all payments to EEDC are made via the cash offices or designated banks, and not to any official.
