Eskom is urging its customers to update their prepaid electricity meter and it is far behind the rate required to ensure all meters are updated in time.
Eskom has warned that the 24 November 2024 deadline for updating prepaid electricity meters will not be extended, adding that they will be rendered inoperable if not updated by that date.
“After this deadline, meters will no longer accept electricity tokens unless they are updated to Key Revision Number 2.” The need to update prepaid electricity meters stems from the date-linked security mechanism that has counted down since January 1993. The system will run out of range by 24 November 2024.
For all municipal customers to successfully migrate to the new KRN system, 11,642 must update their meters daily between now and the deadline.
