The management of the Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC) has, today, urged all its post-paid electricity customers (large enterprises, government) and domestic users to ensure that bills are paid every month for power usage and reasonable steps should be taken to ensure that the total ageing of all debts does not surpass 30 days.
A statement issued by LEC says this is encouraged to protect all its energy consumers from unnecessary system generated interest charges that could stifle cash flows and elicit unforeseen financial strain if not monitored and settled as and when they accrue.
LEC further indicated that the service connection fees for households and enterprises should also be cleared timeously and in accordance to terms provided on quotes to avoid inconveniencing meter disconnections and to allow the corporation to continue energizing every village countrywide.
“All power users are therefore invited to visit LEC’s service centers nationwide to make good on their outstanding accounts before the end of April 2021 to ensure that only current balances are maintained going forward.
“Customers are also allowed to walk in and enquire on the status of their accounts where such information is unknown. All large customers are reminded to quote their account numbers as reference when paying through the banks, for ease of their accounts updating,” read the statement.
