This means that once the current credit is depleted, power will be lost and the meter will become inoperable.When buying electricity tokens from authorised vendors, customers will be provided with two sets of 20-digit codes needed to recode and update their meters. Eskom's Daphne Mokwena explains: "These meters were set 30 years ago for the software to expire in 30 years and that 30 years is on the 24th of November and hence, when we get the question that can you extend the date, unfortunately, we cannot extend the date and there is nothing that as Eskom, we can do.""From Eskom's side, we have got about 6.9 million pre-paid meters that we needed to update and we are sitting currently at about 5 million meters that we have updated.
