If you’ve recently seen messages claiming that Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) is giving out free electricity units, here’s what you need to know.
The information is partly true, but it is not a general free giveaway. The portal is specifically for customers who are eligible for refunds under the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) Scheme.

What Is the AEDC MAP Refund?
The MAP Refund is an initiative that allows eligible customers who purchased their prepaid meters under the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) Scheme to receive refunds in the form of electricity units, in line with the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) guidelines.
How to Check Your Eligibility
- Visit the official AEDC MAP Refund Portal: https://maprefund.abujaelectricity.com/
- Enter your prepaid meter number.
- Click Submit.
- If you are eligible, the portal will generate your refund tokens.
- Load each token into your prepaid meter one after another until all the generated tokens have been accepted.
Note: The number of electricity units you receive depends on your approved refund amount. It is not guaranteed that every eligible customer will receive exactly 18 units, as the credit varies from customer to customer.
Who Is Eligible?
- Customers who purchased their prepaid meters through the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) Scheme.
- Customers who meet AEDC’s refund eligibility requirements.
Beware of False Claims
Although the portal is an official AEDC platform, avoid sharing messages that promise a fixed number of free units for everyone. The refund is based on eligibility and the amount approved under the MAP refund programme.
If you experience any issues accessing your refund, contact AEDC Customer Care or visit the nearest AEDC Customer Experience Centre for assistance.
Bottom Line: The AEDC MAP Refund Portal is a legitimate platform for eligible customers to claim electricity credit refunds. If you purchased your prepaid meter through the MAP Scheme, it is worth checking your eligibility—you may have electricity credits waiting to be claimed.
