CoE replaces all conventional electricity meters with pre-paid meters

The City of Ekurhuleni is phasing out old electricity meters and replacing them with new technologically advanced prepaid meters to clamp down on illegal electricity connections, electricity theft and meter tampering.

“These meters have a customer interphase unit, commonly referred to as a keypad, to enable communication between the user and the meter. The keypad displays the available credit on the meter at the point it was last connected and updated. Dlamini said the rollout of the pre-payment meters is done through an electrical meter management contractor allocated to specific areas.

“There is no difference between the approved rates for a conventional or pre-payment meter. Both meters are calibrated to exactly the same SANS specification,” explained Dlamini.
