The Revenue Protection Project (RPP) Team at PNG Power Limited (PPL) in its efforts to generate more revenue for the company, has come up with strategical concepts that will see a crackdown on illegal electricity users, starting in Port Moresby city.
According to PPL Management, there are now additional manpower to the existing six teams, meaning that more visits by PPL to clients at any time are expected.
The team hopes to identify 1, 000 electricity users before the end of December.
PNG Power in a recent statement said that thirty-six electrical-linesmen have undergone an intensive three-day training on professional conduct and meter readings, and will be out in force to implement the task.
General Manager-Retail, Kingston Albert has applauded his team for their consistent thriving to identify offenders.
“PNG Power has faith in you for your commitment and competency. That is why the company has invested on its employees.”
PNG Power is supporting the retail unit with ten new vehicles, five of which were assigned to other groups in the same business unit.
Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the RPP, Nehemaiah Naris, is thankful and has stated that the RPP has received their five vehicles.
“The RPP has been without manpower for quite a period of time and with the recent internal recruitment of new staff to the project, the team is now equipped to full swing.”
“The team will be dedicated to four corners of the National Capital District (NCD) under the new exercise called, Meter Boxing.”
Meanwhile, Naris is confident of his team and knows that the team would generate income for the company.
“These are our existing customers who have already connected into our systems, but we are not realizing the full revenue potential from our customers. That is why we will have to go back and check each one of our customers.”
He challenged his hardworking team to show honesty, dedication and commitment and urged everyone to give support to the team leaders.
