How KPLC Prepaid works
- Purchase tokens: You purchase electricity units (tokens) in advance. These tokens come in the form of a 20-digit numerical code.
- Load tokens: You enter the token code into your KPLC prepaid meter using its keypad. This credits your meter with the amount of electricity units you purchased.
- Consume electricity: As you use electricity, the units on your meter gradually decrease.
Monitor usage: The prepaid meter’s display shows your remaining units, allowing you to keep track of your consumption. - Repurchase: When your units run low, you need to purchase more tokens to continue using electricity.
Key points about KPLC Prepaid:
- Control over consumption: You pay for electricity before you use it, helping you manage your budget and usage more effectively.
- No unexpected bills: You avoid large, accumulated bills as you’re always aware of your electricity expenditure.
- Convenience: Tokens can be purchased through various channels like authorized vendors, mobile money (M-Pesa, Airtel), Power app, USSD, and online platforms.
