Books – Mohamed Salah:
The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy renewed its appeal to all citizens who wish to settle and reconcile their situation of illegally connecting electricity, before the end of this month, as the deadline for applying for the installation of code meters in the violating properties will expire.
And the Ministry of Electricity indicated, in a statement today, Tuesday, that the deadline had been extended before; So that everyone can complete the required documents and submit them through the unified online platform.
The Ministry of Electricity had announced that it had received about 815,000 requests to switch from accounting for electricity consumption by the practice system to code meters for a number of real estate units, amounting to about 2 million units, and the requests included all nine electricity distribution companies.
Ayman Hamza, a spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity, said that anyone who wants to install the code meter can log onto the platform, then record its data, and then choose the type and number of housing units, enter the card image and add a copy of the electricity practice record for each unit, and after accepting the request An application number will be issued, and within a few days the applicant will be contacted; To install the meter code for it.
In statements he made to Masrawy, Hamza explained that the code counter is a prepaid counter, just like other prepaid meters; But it carries a number and not the name of the owner of the residential unit, and that the accounting system for consumption is the same accounting system for the rest of the meters according to the electricity tariff that has been applied since the beginning of this July, confirming that the installation of the code meter does not reconcile the situation that violates the housing unit, but rather is installed to determine the consumption value of the residential units The violation and the collection of the state’s right from the electrical current that it consumes, and the code meter is converted into a legitimate meter in the event of reconciliation with the state and the legal status of the violating property is reconciled, or the property is removed, and in this case the presence of the code does not prevent the removal of the violating property.
