Lifeline customers on both prepaid and postpaid metering systems will realise their relief effective August 2020 to January 2021.

Lifeline Prepaid Customers

• Customers on non-smart prepaid meters will have to visit their vending points to recharge in order to receive their free lifeline units for each month.

Lifeline Postpaid Customers

• With regards to postpaid lifeline customers, their bills from August 2020, will indicate the GoG absorption of their lifeline consumption.

The Management of ECG wishes to assure lifeline customers and stakeholders that it is resolved to implement this directive.
