How it works

Three steps.
One smarter grid.

From swap-out to first top-up in a single afternoon.

01

We install

An Senapt/LEC-certified technician swaps your old meter on-site. Under an hour, no installation fee during the rollout.

02

You top up

Buy credit via mobile money or an authorised vendor, or on our dedicated customer MyWatts application.

03

You stay in control

Watch your balance and usage in our dedicated customer myWatts application.

Why it matters

Built for customers.
Built for LEC. Built for Liberia.

Pay only for what you use

Smart meters log every unit. Estimated bills are history.

Top up from your phone

Orange Money, MTN MoMo, myWatts or any authorised vendor. Credit lands on the meter in seconds.

Never Get Cut Out

Low-credit warnings on your myWatts app, CIU and phone before the lights go off.

No more bill shock

Buy what you can afford, when you can afford it.

Tamper detection

Interference triggers a real-time alert to LEC operations, protecting honest customers.

Fixed remotely

Most faults are diagnosed and cleared from Senapt without a site visit.

myWatts app

Consumption, balance, history and receipts, on myWatts mobile and web app.

A smarter national grid

LEC sees load and outages the moment they happen. Better power for everyone.

The partnership

A public and private partnership rebuilding how Liberia is powered.

Senapt brings the hardware, the installations, the software, the consumer application and on-the-ground operations. LEC brings the national grid and decades of service. Together: a fairer, more reliable electricity supply for every household and business.

The rollout

How a national rollout
actually gets done.

Senapt runs smart metering programmes to a proven four stage method, adapted here for Liberia and LEC.

01

Foundation

Programme governance with LEC, technical standards agreed, and the commercial and regulatory groundwork signed off before a single meter moves.

  • Joint LEC and Senapt programme team
  • Standards and interoperability sign-off
  • Baseline network and loss assessment
02

Engage and survey

Community meetings, customer education and door to door surveys so every household knows what is changing and every connection is mapped.

  • Community and vendor briefings
  • Customer and premises survey
  • Site readiness and access checks
03

Data and systems

Clean customer data, head end and vending systems integrated with LEC billing, and mobile money channels connected end to end.

  • Customer data cleansing and migration
  • Head end and billing integration
  • Top-up channels live and tested
04

Deploy and operate

Certified technicians install area by area, then the grid runs on live data with local support, spares and continuous monitoring.

  • Area by area installation waves
  • Local technician training
  • Monitoring, support and maintenance
Community first

Built with Liberians,
for Liberia.

The rollout is not just about meters. It is about people, trust, and skills that remain in the country.

26 community programs run in Liberia

Trust is built before the first survey. We run education and engagement programmes so customers know what smart metering means and why it matters.

Area-by-area rollout

We deploy feeder by feeder and community by community, so support stays close and every area is ready before the next wave starts.

Local capacity that lasts

Senapt and LEC train local technicians and support staff. The skills stay in Liberia long after the installation teams move on.

Questions

What customers ask us.

Can't find your answer? Call LEC customer service or email us and we'll be happy to help.

Does a smart meter make electricity more expensive?

No. The tariff is set by LEC and is the same as before. What changes is accuracy: you are billed for exactly what you use, not an estimate.

What happens if my credit runs out at night?

Your CIU and the myWatts app warn you well before credit runs out. Emergency credit can be applied so you're not left in the dark before you can top up.

How do I top up?

Through mobile money (Orange Money, MTN MoMo), any authorised LEC vendor, or the myWatts app. You receive a 20-digit token; enter it on your CIU or it's applied automatically.

Does the installation cost anything?

During the national rollout, existing LEC customers are upgraded at no installation fee. Contact LEC or your nearest vendor to book a slot.

Can I see how much power I'm using?

Yes. Live balance and consumption history are shown in myWatts on mobile and web.
