About Jos Electricity (JED)
Jos Electricity Distribution serves Plateau, Bauchi, Benue and Gombe in the North-Central and North-East. It covers Jos and Bukuru, Bauchi, Makurdi and Gboko in Benue, and Gombe.
On Mabro you can buy JED prepaid tokens and pay JED postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Jos Electricity before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.
Is JED your DisCo?
| Area served | Main cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Plateau, Bauchi, Benue and Gombe | Jos, Bukuru, Bauchi, Makurdi, Gboko and Gombe |
Nasarawa — next to Plateau and Benue — is served by AEDC, and Adamawa and Taraba by Yola Electricity. Near those borders, check your bill or receipt to confirm you are on JED.
Coverage is a general guide; DisCo boundaries do not always follow state lines. Your bill, meter card or a previous token receipt names your DisCo. Neighbouring DisCos: YEDC (Yola Electricity) · AEDC (Abuja Electricity).
How to buy a JED prepaid token on Mabro
Open Electricity
Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.
Choose Jos Electricity and Prepaid
Select Jos Electricity (JED) from the provider list, then Prepaid.
Enter your JED meter number
The app validates it with Jos Electricity and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.
Enter the amount and confirm
The minimum for JED is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.
Get your token instantly
Your 20-digit JED token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.
Save your JED meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.
Paying a JED postpaid bill
If you are on a postpaid Jos Electricity account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your JED bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your JED account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Jos Electricity's records take time to update.
Loading your JED token
On most JED keypad meters, type all 20 digits and press Enter (on some models it is # or a coloured key). On split meters, use the indoor unit. If the meter shows "Reject", "Used" or asks for key change tokens, read our step-by-step guide to loading a prepaid meter token.
JED tariff bands
Like every DisCo, Jos Electricity places each feeder in a NERC tariff band from A to E, based on the hours of supply it is expected to deliver. Band A has the most hours and the highest price per unit. Your band is set by JED for your feeder; it does not depend on where or how you buy your token. If your supply regularly falls well short of your band's promise, raise it with Jos Electricity through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.
JED troubleshooting
- Token not received: check your Mabro history — the token is shown there. If it is missing after 2 minutes, contact support with the reference.
- Token rejected: re-enter it slowly, and confirm you chose Jos Electricity (not a neighbouring DisCo) and the right meter number.
- Units but no light: that is a supply issue, not a token issue. Check whether neighbours are off, and contact Jos Electricity if it is an outage or fault.
- Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Jos Electricity's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
