Electricity: Jirama Launches Meter Verification Campaign
Jirama is launching a major meter and water and electricity connection verification operation starting this August. This campaign aims to improve the reliability of the company's data, detect network irregularities, and strengthen subscriber safety. Jirama agents will conduct visits to all subscribers over the coming weeks to photograph meters and water and electricity connections. This initiative is part of network cleanup efforts and the company's ongoing digitalization. The collected information will be compared with data recorded in the company's computer system. This work will allow subscriber files to be updated, potential anomalies to be identified, and a more reliable database to be established for network management. Digitalization This campaign also serves as a tool to combat illegal connections. Controls aim to identify non-compliant connections and fraud cases, particularly electricity or water theft, which cause losses for the company and compromise the proper functioning of distribution networks. Any anomalies found will be regularized according to existing procedures. In parallel, Jirama continues its digital transformation. Digitizing information about meters and connections will improve installation monitoring, facilitate technical interventions, and strengthen subscription management efficiency. The company aims to modernize its services while improving the quality of services offered to users. However, the company urges subscribers to remain vigilant when teams visit. Agents assigned to this mission must present a professional badge signed by the Human Resources Department, their national identity card, and a mission order. Customers are invited to verify these three documents before allowing access to their meter. This measure aims to prevent identity theft and protect subscribers against potential fraud attempts. Public cooperation is considered essential to ensure the operation runs smoothly and allows teams to conduct verifications under the best conditions. Lucia Rabarijaona
