Momas System Nigeria Limited was incorporated in 1995 to carry out metering and related services. As the first indigenous metering company that has successfully deployed metering solutions for the Nation’s power utility-Power Holding Company of Nigeria PLC (formerly National Electric Power Authority), Momas Systems’ impact in the Nation’s downstream sector remains unequalled.

Our resolute in expanding the frontier resulted in heavily investment in capacity building and infrastructure years ago and this culminated in the development of the vending application that is STS (standard transfer specification) certified, unarguably, the first of its kind in the Sub-Sahara called ELECTRICITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT INTERFACE (ECMI) and CUSTOMER SALES POINT (CSP). By this vending application, Power utilities would be empowered to interact extensively with customers’ meters via sms on every aspect of power requirements, while the customers would have diverse platforms to recharge their meters and to exchange varied responses with utilities. Simultaneously, Momas Systems has commenced the construction of state of the art meter manufacturing plant, which is expected to be on stream by first quarter of 2012. Momas Systems R&D Department have done extensive research on electronic meters, and with all benefit of hindsight, the meter factory is expected to manufacture meter with almost 75% local content.  In line with acceptable corporate governance, the management of the meter manufacturing plant would be autonomous and would be run under separate management team with a functional board. A firm of consultants have been engaged to come up with requisite corporate norms and ethos for the new entity to be named MOMAS METERS NIGERIA LIMITED and to guide the Company in being listed on the Stock Exchange within three (3) years of operation.
