A 20-digit code on screen and by SMS. Punch it into the meter keypad.
Entering your token
- Type the 20 digits on the meter keypad, without spaces.
- Press the enter key — usually marked # or ↵.
- The meter shows ACCEPT and the new balance in kWh.
- If it shows REJECT, re-check the digits and try once more; the token stays valid.
Lost the SMS? Tokens can be re-sent free of charge — dial 905 or check purchase history when signed in.
Finding your meter number
An 11-digit number on the front panel of the meter, usually under the barcode and labelled Meter No. It is also printed at the top of every token receipt.
Buying for someone else — a tenant, a family home, a shop — is fine. The token is tied to the meter, not to who paid for it.
Only buy here or at agents
EEU tokens are sold on this portal, at service centers and through licensed mobile-money agents. Never buy a code from a reseller on social media.
Tokens do not expire
A token stays valid until it is loaded. Buy ahead of a trip or the rainy season without losing the credit.
Free help on 905
If a payment goes through but no token arrives, call 905 with your payment reference. Tokens are re-issued at no cost.
Common questions
- Do I need an EEU account?
- No. A meter number and a payment method are enough. An account only adds saved meters, receipts and purchase history.
- What is the minimum purchase?
- ETB 20. There is no maximum, though very large amounts may exceed the credit your meter can hold at one time.
- Can I buy for another meter?
- Yes. The token is tied to the meter number, so you can top up a tenant’s, relative’s or business meter.
- I paid but got no token.
- Check purchase history or SMS first. If it is genuinely missing, call 905 with the payment reference — the token is re-sent free.
- Why is the kWh only an estimate?
- Tariffs are banded by consumption, so the exact energy depends on your usage that month. The receipt shows the confirmed figure.
- Does the token work on any meter?
- No. Each token is generated for one specific meter and will be rejected by any other.
