Greetings Skunks, Seems our prepaid issue finally reached the attention of Kenya Power ltd. A lady Ms.Krystyne copied herein called me earlier on today from KPLC and took time to explain to me the prepaid units allocation and the formula used.
From our discussion the units rate changed 4 months ago and a result of the changes saw clients receiving lower units than before.Below is the current formula that KPLC is using to allocate points.
1 a.50 units were previously going for 2.00shs and went up to 3.93shs for the same number of units. 1.b.51-1500 units were previously going for 8.10 and went up to 10.03shs.(Majority of domestic clients fall in ths category) With the above changes one should immediately expect a decline in the number of units allocation. Further explanation; 1. At the beginning of every month KPLC deducts a standing change (one of fee every month) of Shs120 plus 16%VAT. e.g If as a client is spending Ksh200 at the start of the month,KPLC will first deduct a one of Ksh120+19.2=Ksh139.2 The client is then left with Ksh60.8 from which he can buy units with.But even so the remaining amount is still subject to other levies eg Fuel and Forex exchange rate plus VAT .The last two parameters are not static hence will change with market dynamics. It is also important to mention that the other levies besides the one of standing change are applicable any other time a client is making a purchase in the coarse of the month. Previously VAT was only applicable for clients utilizing/purchasing more than 200units but the current state is one that clients are changed for whatever number of units consumed.

Hey all,
I am rather confused by the rates used by Kenya Power for issuing power units. 2000 /- does not get you a consistent no. of units yet the exchange rate is rather stable. Just this morning 2,000 bob got me 117 units which lasts about 12 days at 10 units a day.
How much do listers get? Is it consistent?
I also think they have zones with Westlands paying way more than Eastlands.
