About Port Harcourt Electricity (PHED)
Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company serves the South-South states of Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River. It covers the oil-and-gas city of Port Harcourt and its suburbs, as well as Yenagoa, Uyo, Eket and Calabar.
On Mabro you can buy PHED prepaid tokens and pay PHED postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Port Harcourt Electricity before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.
Is PHED your DisCo?
| Area served | Main cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River | Port Harcourt, Obio-Akpor, Yenagoa, Uyo, Eket and Calabar |
PHED covers four states, while neighbouring Delta and Edo are on Benin Electricity (BEDC), and Abia is split between EEDC and Aba Power. If you have recently moved within the South-South, confirm your DisCo from a bill or receipt before buying.
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: BEDC (Benin Electricity) · EEDC (Enugu Electricity).
How to buy a PHED prepaid token on Mabro
Open Electricity
Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.
Choose Port Harcourt Electricity and Prepaid
Select Port Harcourt Electricity (PHED) from the provider list, then Prepaid.
Enter your PHED meter number
The app validates it with Port Harcourt Electricity and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.
Enter the amount and confirm
The minimum for PHED is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.
Get your token instantly
Your 20-digit PHED token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.
Save your PHED meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.
Paying a PHED postpaid bill
If you are on a postpaid Port Harcourt Electricity account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your PHED bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your PHED account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Port Harcourt Electricity's records take time to update.
Loading your PHED token
On most PHED 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.
PHED tariff bands
Like every DisCo, Port Harcourt 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 PHED 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 Port Harcourt Electricity through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.
PHED 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 Port Harcourt 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 Port Harcourt Electricity if it is an outage or fault.
- Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Port Harcourt Electricity's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
