@Dennis and @sobbayi the problem is not the breakdown for me but the complete lack of consistency between the postpaid,prepaid and users from different regions of the city. Also there is no way to budget for power since for prepaid guys anything goes. Its a black box.
I don't have a problem paying the taxes and other charges but why do they seesaw so drastically when fuel and forex rate in the public space doesn't? And doesn't KPLC hedge?
The best course of action here, is for an informal session with the Kenya Power top brass.Voice your concerns properly, and someone might listen.

I've gone through the same thing and have faithfully kept all my Token smes to try and work it out on my own. So far all I've deduced is that topping up twice in the same month for the same value yields lower units on the second transaction.
A friend has gone as far as concluding that he gets higher token values if he only reloads when it is on 20 units balance.
In other words unstructured madness! I hope the twitter mass action works, yesterday Langata residents were being blatantly ignored as they voiced their constant power outages.On 7 Feb 2014 14:07, "Alex Gabriel" <alexgabbie@gmail.com> wrote:use harsh-tag kplctokenformula to tweet.Alex GabrielOn Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 1:58 PM, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com> wrote:Interesting thread.Looks like we need a hashtag for guys to vote on the best hashtag for this KPLC token thing.Anyway, I'm no lawyer, but I remember reading in some act that power utility providers ought to give a breakdown - on the bill - of how they arrive at the amount charged. I think Kenya Power are in violation of that (unless the act was amended).For me buying power tokens somewhat feels like an act of charity.S.On 7 February 2014 13:49, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:
And No, I am not affiliated with Kenya Power in anyway, earlier @Wash had a rant about people not taking initiative to glean information. KPLC has already posted the answer to this thread. A simple Google search will bring out the PDF below. The complaints on this thread can be solved by downloading this PDF and deducing the costs, after-all there should be sharp minds on this list, so we should expect more... really!!!
