Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>PAYNESVILLE<\/b> \u2014 The Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), in partnership with Senapt Liberia Trading LLC, has officially commissioned a transformative smart metering project designed to overhaul electricity distribution, ensure billing accuracy and streamline service delivery across the country.<\/p>\n

The launch, held Monday at the Paynesville Town Hall under the theme: \u201cPowering Liberia\u2019s Future, One Smart Meter at a Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rollout of the smart metering project is expected to begin with Paynesville and its environs- marking a significant shift in the utility provider\u2019s approach to resource management and customer service.<\/p>\n

According to project organizers, the initiative introduces a robust Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).<\/p>\n

This prepaid system allows customers to purchase electricity in advance and monitor their consumption patterns in real-time.<\/p>\n

The technology is expected to provide much-needed transparency, effectively ending long-standing billing disputes and curbing the persistent issue of power theft that has plagued the national grid.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, Senapt Managing Director Nadeem Ahmad and LEC Deputy Managing Director for Operations, Thomas Z. Wonkerwon, emphasized that the AMI project is poised to modernize electricity access.<\/p>\n

They noted that the transition will offer more reliable and convenient services for both residential households and the business community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project will transform how we manage electricity in Liberia, providing a bridge to more efficient energy use and better accountability,\u201d they noted.<\/p>\n

Under the new system, the purchasing process has been simplified for the consumer.<\/p>\n

Customers can now procure electricity via mobile money platforms or through authorized vendors. Upon purchase, they receive a 20-digit token to be entered into their meters for immediate activation.<\/p>\n

The LEC Acting Managing Director Wonkerwon further highlighted that the smart meters will eliminate the practice of \u201cestimated billing\u201d\u2014a frequent point of contention for consumers.<\/p>\n

The meters also feature real-time low-credit alerts and a \u201cpay-as-you-use\u201d structure, giving Liberians greater control over their energy expenditures.<\/p>\n

The rollout of the smart metering project is a key component of LEC\u2019s broader strategy to modernize Liberia\u2019s energy sector and expand the reach of a stable power supply and drew a diverse group of stakeholders, including members of the National Legislature, high-ranking government officials, and residents of Paynesville.<\/p>\n
