How to Pay Your KEDCO Prepaid Meter Step-by-Step

Paying your prepaid meter has never been easier. Below are the steps to purchase electricity credit and recharge your meter using VTpass:

Step 1: Prepare Your Meter Details

Have your Meter Number ready (an identification number on your meter). Make sure your phone number and email address are accessible to receive the electricity token.

Step 2: Visit VTpass Online or via App

Go to vtpass.com or open the VTpass mobile app.

Step 3: Select Electricity Payment

Choose the Electricity category, then select KEDCO from the list of available DisCos.

Step 4: Enter Meter Number and Phone Number

Input your KEDCO prepaid meter number and the phone number where you want the token sent.

Step 5: Choose How Much Electricity to Buy

Enter the amount you wish to spend (minimum amounts usually start from ₦1,000 upwards, depending on your preference and budget).

Step 6: Make Payment

Select your preferred payment method—ATM card, bank transfer, mobile money, or Wallet on VTpass and receive your token.

What to Do If You Do Not Receive Your Prepaid Meter Token

Sometimes, after paying to recharge your KEDCO prepaid meter, the token doesn’t arrive immediately. This can be frustrating, but it’s a situation many users face and can often be resolved with simple steps.

Here’s what you should do:

1. Check for meter debt issues:
   Sometimes, unpaid electricity debt on your meter can prevent new tokens from being accepted. DisCos like IKEDC allow you to check and clear your debt online.
2. Double-check your details:
   Ensure you correctly entered your meter number and phone number when making the payment. Even a small typo can delay or misroute the token.
3. Check your SMS and email inbox thoroughly:
   Sometimes the token message is delayed due to network or system issues. Also, check your spam or junk email folders.
4. Confirm your payment went through:
   Check your transaction history to confirm the payment was successful. If it wasn’t, retry after a few hours.
5. Avoid using old or previously generated tokens:
   Using outdated tokens before updating your meter with a new Key Change Token (KCT) can cause the meter to reject new tokens.
