STELCO to Conduct One-Day Meter Readings Across Male' to Streamline Billing Process

STELCO is set to deploy 350 staff members tomorrow to complete electricity meter readings throughout the Male' area in just one day.

In a press briefing, STELCO's General Manager Mohamed Saleem announced that the next round of meter readings will take place on March 30, following Ramadan.

The company's goal is to improve the billing process by ensuring that customers receive a single monthly bill, which will help avoid the errors that led to discounts on two separate bills in the past.

Previously, STELCO's billing cycle had a 12-day gap, which caused overlapping periods. To address this, meter readings will be conducted tomorrow and again on the last day of Ramadan to generate a clear, separate bill for the month.

Discounts on electricity bills will now be based on the consumption over the previous 12 months, with any increases in usage subject to a reduction.

STELCO is asking the public to cooperate with the meter readers and recommends that those who will be away for a long time notify the company to schedule an alternative reading time.
