About Yola Electricity (YEDC)
Yola Electricity Distribution Company serves the North-East states of Adamawa, Taraba, Borno and Yobe. Its area includes Yola and Jimeta, Mubi, Jalingo, Maiduguri and Damaturu.
On Mabro you can buy YEDC prepaid tokens and pay YEDC postpaid bills from your wallet. The app checks your meter or account number with Yola Electricity before you pay, shows you the customer name to confirm, and delivers prepaid tokens instantly in the app and by SMS.
Is YEDC your DisCo?
| Area served | Main cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Adamawa, Taraba, Borno and Yobe | Yola, Jimeta, Mubi, Jalingo, Maiduguri and Damaturu |
Neighbouring Gombe, Bauchi and Plateau are served by Jos Electricity (JED). If you have recently moved within the North-East, confirm your DisCo before buying a token.
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: JED (Jos Electricity) · KEDCO (Kano Electricity).
How to buy a YEDC prepaid token on Mabro
Open Electricity
Tap Electricity on the Mabro home screen.
Choose Yola Electricity and Prepaid
Select Yola Electricity (YEDC) from the provider list, then Prepaid.
Enter your YEDC meter number
The app validates it with Yola Electricity and shows the customer name and address. Make sure it is yours.
Enter the amount and confirm
The minimum for YEDC is shown in the app. Confirm with your 6-digit PIN.
Get your token instantly
Your 20-digit YEDC token appears in the app and by SMS. Load it on your meter.
Save your YEDC meter as a beneficiary and your next purchase takes a few taps.
Paying a YEDC postpaid bill
If you are on a postpaid Yola Electricity account, choose Postpaid instead, enter the account number from your YEDC bill, check the customer name, and pay the bill amount or more. The payment is applied to your YEDC account and recorded in your Mabro history with a reference — keep it in case Yola Electricity's records take time to update.
Loading your YEDC token
On most YEDC 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.
YEDC tariff bands
Like every DisCo, Yola 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 YEDC 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 Yola Electricity through its official customer care channels. More in our guide to tariff bands.
YEDC 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 Yola 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 Yola Electricity if it is an outage or fault.
- Estimated or disputed bill: complain to Yola Electricity's customer care with your account number and keep the complaint reference; unresolved complaints can be escalated to NERC's Forum Offices.
