Perhaps your prepaid electricity unit has run out and you want to get it recharged but don’t know how to go about it. Well, there is no cause for alarm, as that’s really a simple task to do. I will show you in this article a simple guide on how to recharge a prepaid meter.
A prepaid meter is different from a postpaid or estimated bill. So if you are using a prepaid meter, you will always need to have some electricity units in the prepaid meter for there to be a power supply in your house. Whenever it gets exhausted, you will always need to recharge it.
To recharge your prepaid meter, you need to first purchase the prepaid meter token from either your electricity distribution company’s website, your bank’s mobile app, or VTU Base.
