Check the exact flat

Most feeders here aren't Band A, so check before paying Band A prices.

  1. Get the meter number. It’s on the meter and on any token receipt.

    “Hello, before I pay for the flat, please send me the prepaid meter number (or a photo of a recent token receipt) so I can confirm its electricity band. Thank you.”

    Send on WhatsApp (opens WhatsApp)

  2. Kaduna Electric has no online lookup. Ask customer care with the meter number (kadunaelectric.com (opens in a new tab)).

  3. Or read a token receipt: a tariff code starting with A (e.g. ‘A-Non MD’) means Band A.

A listing can say Band A for a flat that's on another feeder. Ask for the meter number before paying.

How do I check a flat's band in Samaru?
Ask for the meter number and give it to Kaduna Electric's customer care, who can tell you the feeder's band, or read a recent token receipt: a tariff code starting with A (for example 'A-Non MD') means Band A.
