Coverage
AEDC primarily serves Abuja FCT and adjoining states in its franchise footprint.
IKEDC serves much of Lagos mainland under the Ikeja franchise — different geography from AEDC.
Why it matters for vending
Tokens are disco-specific. Selecting AEDC for an IKEDC meter will fail validation or route incorrectly.
Teach customers to read disco names on bills and SMS receipts — it prevents costly mistakes for agents.
On VendPower
Always validate meters before payment — validation confirms disco alignment where providers expose metadata.
Use DISCO landing pages on vendpower.ng/electricity to educate customers and boost SEO discoverability per network.
