Households and small businesses struggling to keep up with monthly electricity payments during the Covid-19 pandemic will be allowed to defer payments or request to pay their bills in instalments, the Provincial Electricity Authority said yesterday.
In a bid to help alleviate hardship during the Covid-19 pandemic, households and small businesses whose electricity bills are overdue for over a month are urged to contact their local PEA office to arrange a repayment scheme.
Starting from Aug 16, payments for overdue bills can be made through the PEA Smart Plus application and counter services.
Consumers are urged to phone PEA's contact centre at 1129 or visit their local PEA office for information.
