“The mass metering in army formations nationwide will enable us to know what is being consumed on a monthly basis in order to ensure appropriate billings and ease collections. The overall intention is to eliminate and make estimated billing a thing of the past,” Mr Adelabu was quoted as saying. The minister said that part of the energy blueprint for the country is also to build off-grid power sources such as Solar energy for military barracks located in remote areas without grid supply, “and where we have grid supply, we can interchange between the grid and solar supply if we are not satisfied with the number of hours supplied by the Distribution Companies .

In his remarks, Mr Adetuyi said the federal government metering initiative is timely as the brigade headquarters has been having an epileptic power supply over time.
