Collection drive begins
SNEL announced that from 1 October it would intensify recovery of unpaid electricity bills in Kinshasa. The public utility said the operation would target overdue accounts as part of efforts to improve collections.
Disconnection warning
The utility warned that customers who do not regularize their accounts risk disconnection. The initiative is a billing-enforcement measure and is separate from the generation constraints SNEL has cited.
