All 70 million of the world’s meters will stop vending electricity unless they are updated through a process known as TID rollover. There are 10 million prepaid meters in SA, and while the update is simple to perform, authorities have hardly started.

All 70 million of the world’s electricity meters will stop vending electricity unless they are updated through a process known as TID rollover

Vendors, including Eskom and municipalities in South Africa, must execute a relatively simple project to avoid the issue, but the only problem is this project will take some time, and many have hardly started.reported by the Financial Mail in October There are 10 million prepaid electricity meters in SA and an estimated 70 million worldwide - with 50 million of them estimated to be in Indonesia, says Taylor.The whole problem is relatively simple to fix. All that needs to happen to update an electricity meter so that it is ready to vend electricity beyond 24 November 2024 is for two unique 20-digit numbers, known as key change tokens , to be punched into the meter and then it is ready.

The best available data on the progress of the rollover project, which was made accessible to News24, lies in the status of something called Supply Group Codes . Local municipalities submit their progress data to a dashboard on the South African Local Government Association website. Only 28 municipalities indicated on the site that that they have started their projects.

Asked about the meter problem, De Jager says that like Y2K it is a rollover problem, that is where the technical similarity ends. “This metering problem is very, very, very different. You know exactly what the problem is. I mean, there's no question. It's in every meter.”

You are spreading lies. This is another Y2K scam.

Hehe tenders loading…

The new meters currently being installed are horrible!! They're definitely meant to make you buy electricity every single week,worse with the loadshedding-after every stage there's units that disappear when power comes back.Absolute cruelty!

Every department in this country seem CLUELESS JUST LIKE THEIR LEADER CyrilRamaphosa AND HIS CRONIES. I SAY NO MORE.

Watch municipalities tender out contracts to companies in order for them to put in a number that can be done by the owner/tenant.

Can it be done remotely or not.

Huh?

Let's face it, the ANC and departments would not be able organise a piss-up in a brewery. Useless bunch they are.

Yerr
