Understanding the Update

Kenya Power’s Managing Director, Joseph Siror, highlighted the need for this update, emphasizing that the current system is set to expire.

The codes are 20-digit numbers. Make sure you note them down carefully.

2. Input Codes:

Enter the codes into your prepaid meter in the correct order:

Reset Code: This code resets your meter.
Update Code: This code upgrades your meter to the new system.

3. Verification:

Once the update is complete, your meter will display a message confirming the successful update.

After the update, your meter will be ready to accept new electricity tokens. Your electricity tariff will remain unchanged.

Free Update: The update process is free of charge.

Time Limit: The deadline for the update is August 31st. Make sure to complete the update before this date to avoid interruption in your electricity supply.

The prepaid meter update is essential for continued access to electricity. By following the outlined steps and ensuring you have loaded all existing tokens, you can ensure a smooth transition to the new system.
