households to upgrade their prepaid electricity meters before the November 24thOver two-million households that receive their electricity from Eskom and municipalities are yet to be migrated onto the new system through prepaid meter Key Revision Numbers programme.
Electricity entities will stop dispensing KRN1 electricity tokens, thus making the old metering system inactive. The minister gave a briefing also providing an update on the finalisation of the Integrated Resource Plan 2023. “There’s a time stamp on this prepaid meter. So, the point I want to make is that it is up to Sunday and that’s when we are expected to ensure that everyone is recorded. Now people are coming across and say no, but can you extend it? It’s not extendable. That’s the point I want to make. It is like technical, we can’t extend it, so it’s a hard stop. Then you are sitting with a different problem, so if you replenish your units based on the absolute system, then you can load it.
