Egypt's Electricity Holding Company Details Differences Between Codified and Legal Meters and Conversion Conditions
An official at Egypt's Electricity Holding Company has outlined the distinctions between codified and legal meters and the requirements for converting from one to the other.
- The official stated that a codified (kodi) meter is a prepaid meter installed in unlicensed or illegally constructed buildings to provide temporary electricity supply.
- Codified meters are issued with a code only, not registered under the occupant's name, and do not constitute proof of ownership or legalization of the property.
- The official said a legal meter is installed in licensed buildings or those that have been legalized, with a formal contract signed and the meter registered in the subscriber's name at the distribution company.
- Converting a codified meter to a legal one requires a valid building permit, a final court ruling confirming the building's legality, or completion of reconciliation procedures for building violations under the law.
