State-owned utility Eskom has noted that it, at the weekend, succeeded in a technological breakthrough enabling it to pre-create Key Change Tokens (KCT) on its online vending system.
This meant that buyers with active meters, but who had not bought electricity in recent months, had been granted an extension to update their meters to be Key Revision Number 2 (KRN2) compliant beyond the November 24 deadline.
These buyers were required to go to their legal vending sites with their meter numbers to buy electricity before November 24. Once the meter has been activated through the buying of electricity, the customer can then visit any of the Eskom sites to complete the conversion process.
By Sunday morning, more than a million prepaid meters under Eskom’s management had yet to be upgraded.
