About Kano Electricity (KEDCO)
Kano Electricity Distribution Company serves Kano, Katsina and Jigawa in the North-West. It supplies the commercial city of Kano — one of Nigeria's largest — as well as Katsina, Dutse, Funtua and towns across the three states.
On Mabro you can buy KEDCO prepaid tokens and pay KEDCO postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Kano Electricity before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.
Is KEDCO your DisCo?
| Area served | Main cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Kano, Katsina and Jigawa | Kano, Katsina, Dutse, Funtua and Hadejia |
Neighbouring Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara are served by Kaduna Electric (KAEDCO), not KEDCO. If you have moved between northern states, check that your purchase is for the right company.
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: KAEDCO (Kaduna Electric) · JED (Jos Electricity).
How to buy a KEDCO prepaid token on Mabro
Open Electricity
Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.
Choose Kano Electricity and Prepaid
Select Kano Electricity (KEDCO) from the provider list, then Prepaid.
Enter your KEDCO meter number
The app validates it with Kano Electricity and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.
Enter the amount and confirm
The minimum for KEDCO is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.
Get your token instantly
Your 20-digit KEDCO token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.
Save your KEDCO meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.
Paying a KEDCO postpaid bill
If you are on a postpaid Kano Electricity account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your KEDCO bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your KEDCO account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Kano Electricity's records take time to update.
Loading your KEDCO token
On most KEDCO 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.
KEDCO tariff bands
Like every DisCo, Kano 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 KEDCO 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 Kano Electricity through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.
KEDCO 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 Kano 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 Kano Electricity if it is an outage or fault.
- Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Kano Electricity's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
