The company, listed under the ticker KPLC on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, disclosed that approximately 6.8 million prepaid customers, as of January, were expected to be impacted by this directive.
Additionally, Kenya Power indicated that it services 2.1 million postpaid customers, generating Ksh120 billion in revenue, constituting 63% of its total earnings.
Despite a majority of large-scale power consumers favoring the postpaid option, Kenya Power plans to phase out this service and transition all customers to the prepaid system.
A report by Kenya Power outlined that rural customers will eventually migrate to smart metering systems, aligning with the company’s long-term strategy.
This maintenance initiative follows a technical issue experienced by the company in January, resulting in a 15-hour service disruption attributed to mobile money system malfunctions, impacting prepaid customers’ ability to purchase electricity tokens.
