KPLC Announces Power Interruptions in Four Counties Today

Kenya’s electricity distribution company, KPLC, has announced power outages in several areas across the country on Monday, July 8, due to maintenance work.

In a statement released on Sunday evening, KPLC indicated that some areas in Nairobi, Narok, Tharaka Nithi, and Embu counties will experience power interruptions between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM.

The specific areas affected include:

  • Nairobi County: Parts of the Kitsuru neighborhood will face outages from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
  • Narok County: Several areas in Oldonyorok will be without power from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
  • Tharaka Nithi County: Some areas in Gituaka will experience outages from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Kenya Power hits 30% mark in the Update Token Meter Yako Campaign

A total of 2 million prepaid (token) meters have been updated in the last three weeks since the public launch of the Update Token Meter Yako Campaign.

The free exercise targets 7.4 million prepaid (token) meters, whose software must be updated to enable customers to continue enjoying access to electricity.

The Kenya Power’s Managing Director & CEO, Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror, says:

“The numbers are encouraging and we are happy to note that our customers have taken the call to update their meters seriously. We are almost at 30% of the targeted meters, and we are optimistic that all our prepaid customers will have updated their meters by the 31st August deadline.”

The Update Token Meter Yako campaign is part of an ongoing global exercise that targets all prepaid meters that use the Standard Transfer Specification (STS) – a universal method to transfer tokens to prepaid meters that ensures the security of generated tokens.

The company has set the end of August 2024 as the deadline to update all STS-compliant meters within the network.

To ensure that the exercise is carried out successfully, the Company has adopted a phased approach where prepaid (token) meters are scheduled for update in batches.

Once a meter is scheduled, a customer receives an SMS notification and thereafter the update codes are sent to the customer upon purchase of an electricity token.

“The phased approach has ensured that the prepaid system is not overloaded with customer requests for the update codes. This has minimized challenges such as system delays and made it easier to purchase tokens and access the update codes. We encourage all customers to update their meter once they receive the codes,” said Dr. (Eng.) Siror.

He added that the Company is noting and incorporating important feedback into the Update Token Meter Yako Campaign deployment strategy to ensure that all the prepaid customers are fully empowered to update their meters once scheduled.

Apart from the SMS notification, customers can also access their prepaid meter update codes through the Company’s self-service platform *977#. This also serves as a backup in case the SMS notification is lost.

The update will not impact existing tokens already loaded into the meter. However, customers are advised to load any unutilized tokens before updating their meters as failure to do so will render them invalid.

Kenya Power: Breaking Down the Token Meter Update Exercise

Kenya Power has launched the ‘Update Token Meter Yako’ campaign. This is an initiative that targets 7.4 million prepaid (token) meters across the country.

The objective is to ensure all customers continue to enjoy uninterrupted access to electricity by updating their meters.

Here are the details of this critical update and what you need to do.

Kenya Power customers updating their token meters during the launch of the exercise (file images)

Why is it necessary to Update your KPLC Token Meter?

The STS Update

The KPLC ‘Update Token Meter Yako’ initiative is part of a global exercise targeting all prepaid meters using the Standard Transfer Specification (STS).

STS is a universal method for transferring tokens to prepaid meters.

STS also upholds the security and integrity of the generated tokens.

Understanding the Token Identifier (TID)

Whenever a KPLC customer need to recharge their prepaid meter, they purchase and enter a 20-digit token.

This token contains a unique value called the Token Identifier (TID).

The TID helps the meter determine the validity of the token by pinpointing the date and time of token generation.

This ensures that the token value is accepted and power units reflect on the meter.

How to Update your KPLC Token Meter

Customers will receive an SMS from Kenya Power informing them that their meter is due for an update.

They SMS will ask them to buy tokens of any amount. They will then receive the two codes plus their token.

  • The first code is the Reset Code.
  • The second code is the Update Code

Updating the Meter

Armed with the two codes in the SMS from Kenya Power, grab your token meter, then:

  • To Reset, key in the first 20-digit code into token meter, press ENTER.
  • To Update, key in the second 20-digit code into token meter, press ENTER.
  • Then, enter your token. You will know the update is successful once your meter accepts the token

Useful Details to Remember

  • Please ensure to load any unused token before you update your meter. Failure to do so will render the token invalid.
  • The ‘Update Token Meter Yako’ process is completely free. If someone attempts to charge you, that’s fraud – Dial *977# to report.
  • The update will not affect existing tokens. This means tokens already loaded into the meter will remain, and shall be used normally.

What is the Deadline to Update KPLC Token Meter?

  • The global deadline for the STS update is 24th November 2024.
  • Locally, Kenya Power has the deadline at end of August 2024.

Update your KPLC prepaid token meter to continue enjoying seamless electricity service.

Keep checking your phone messages so as not to miss the SMS from Kenya Power with your Reset and Update codes.

While Kenya Power is on a spirited countrywide outreach, kindly spread the word in your community to ensure everyone benefits from the important update before the deadline.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the update, kindly visit the nearest Kenya Power office.
