Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
That means there is a logic flaw in the prepaid billing graduated tarrif. Buying 120 units at a go or buying them in batches of 40 all within 30 days should cost the same. Coz if I buy 40, it should keep in mind/memory that the next batch I buy, only 10 units will be on the first tarrif. The rest should be on the next tarrif band.

I gave up on trying to approximate how much the number of units might cost. Once I bought units worth 1000 sh and got 64 units only to buy more the same month worth 1200 sh and received 58 units. On enquiry I was told the moment I went over 50 units that month I was payin about 6 or 7 times per kwh as compared to 50 units and below.

Surely it cant be that complicated. Its the way you buy units that's making you lose out. Look at this example. These are rough calculations just to illustrate the general idea
1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per unit for 200 units....
Here you spend about 4000bob
or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so
buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit
Here you spend 3600bob.
Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as opposed to buying in one chunk.
2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, the next time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months missed before you are given your units.
The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations that shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep

From Wednesdays daily nation
' Since December 1, Kenya Power has been charging Sh15.51 per unit of electricity as a base tariff. Domestic power users pay Sh3.93 for the first 50 units of electricity consumed or nearly double the previous rate of two shillings. For those consuming between 50 and 1,500 units, the cost per unit went up by Sh2.20 to Sh10.30, while those consuming higher amounts pay Sh20.50 per kilowatt hour (Kwh) up from Sh18.57. ' You can observe your consumption in real time by entering 050 in the csu. You can find your biggest power hogs by switching on various appliances on/off and observing the usage. You might even discover a neighbour might be plugged in to your power at the meter, some landlords use unsuspecting tenants power for security lights! Use 080 to show units consumed in the previous 24 hours. There is no logic flaw, the system keeps a record of all previous purchases thus buying 49 units you pay 3.93 per unit, if you buy 2 more units later in the same billing period you'll pay 3.93 for one unit then automatically land in the second band and pay 10.30 for the other unit. On 8 February 2014 09:56, Jimmy Thuo <jimmy.thuo@gmail.com> wrote:
That means there is a logic flaw in the prepaid billing graduated tarrif. Buying 120 units at a go or buying them in batches of 40 all within 30 days should cost the same. Coz if I buy 40, it should keep in mind/memory that the next batch I buy, only 10 units will be on the first tarrif. The rest should be on the next tarrif band.

@Job thats the thing I am trying to say. There is nothing complicated here. First of all the costs are actually published... Google is your friend:
1 - 50 units is about 2bob per unit above 50 units it goes to about 12-13bob a unit above 100 or 200 or something like that, I cant remember. It jumps to 18-19bob a unit.
With that knowledge when you bought the 1st 64 units because it exceeded 50units you paid about 12bob per unit (do the Math). You should have routed for less than 50 units and you would have paid 2bob instead. When you bought more power in the same month you now being charged about 58units x 18/19bob = 1102 the rest is the charges
Moral, never pay for power by paying lump-sum of 1000 bob because that will get you more than 50 units and you will pay a higher rate. Secondly if you buy your units from an agent you get an itemized receipt which shows the breakdown of the costs very clearly

*Subject: *Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
I gave up on trying to approximate how much the number of units might cost. Once I bought units worth 1000 sh and got 64 units only to buy more the same month worth 1200 sh and received 58 units. On enquiry I was told the moment I went over 50 units that month I was payin about 6 or 7 times per kwh as compared to 50 units and below. I think they need to publish this costs to help someone budget,
Power in Kenya is just not manageable, too expensive and most of the time unreliable.

*Subject: *Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
Surely it cant be that complicated. Its the way you buy units that's making you lose out. Look at this example. These are rough calculations just to illustrate the general idea
1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per unit for 200 units....
Here you spend about 4000bob
or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so
buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit
Here you spend 3600bob.
Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as opposed to buying in one chunk.
2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, the next time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months missed before you are given your units.
The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations that shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep

People there are no arguments here just a lively discussion. Its never that serious. In my opinion the fluctuations affect every industry but the power industry seems to inflate the effect too much. I think a live calculator on the site to show how many units I expect for a given amount of money and a comprehensive breakdown would alleviate most of our woes.

When the meters we being installed, they were sharing a booklet showing how the calculation was being done. It even went further to show a comparison with postpaid.
After I got to understand this my cost has been consistent since Feb last year or there about. Makes sense somehow.

Ambrose, Or another option would be for Kenya Power to provide an SMS or Web System where you can query how much it would cost to get X units for a specific meter number. That, I think is very easy for them to provide - if they are interested/bothered enough

Ambrose, I dint mean to get into an argument, and neither am I a Kenya Power employee. I am just using my own understanding of the current situation, sharing how to handle the situation and also my little knowledge of tariffs and power systems dynamics in the country.
If you read my previous post, maybe we need another player - but as it stands, there are many dynamics especially with KenGen, Independent power producers, etc that needs to be fixed.

Guys are giving some good info. I am thinking if we have Kenya Power give us a portal or a link on their site with a calculator. I saw recently they have this for the old meters to check your bill balance here http://contactcentre.kplc.co.ke/KEIOPEN/ We need one for prepaid so you can go there and calculate the cost for getting a number of units with all the breakdown. When you buy with Mpesa you don't get the breakdown. My thoughts. On Sat, Feb 8, 2014 at 10:41 AM, Keneth Kingori <kkingori@gmail.com> wrote:
From Wednesdays daily nation
' Since December 1, Kenya Power has been charging Sh15.51 per unit of electricity as a base tariff. Domestic power users pay Sh3.93 for the first 50 units of electricity consumed or nearly double the previous rate of two shillings.
For those consuming between 50 and 1,500 units, the cost per unit went up by Sh2.20 to Sh10.30, while those consuming higher amounts pay Sh20.50 per kilowatt hour (Kwh) up from Sh18.57. '
You can observe your consumption in real time by entering 050 in the csu. You can find your biggest power hogs by switching on various appliances on/off and observing the usage. You might even discover a neighbour might be plugged in to your power at the meter, some landlords use unsuspecting tenants power for security lights!
Use 080 to show units consumed in the previous 24 hours.
There is no logic flaw, the system keeps a record of all previous purchases thus buying 49 units you pay 3.93 per unit, if you buy 2 more units later in the same billing period you'll pay 3.93 for one unit then automatically land in the second band and pay 10.30 for the other unit.

That means there is a logic flaw in the prepaid billing graduated tarrif. Buying 120 units at a go or buying them in batches of 40 all within 30 days should cost the same. Coz if I buy 40, it should keep in mind/memory that the next batch I buy, only 10 units will be on the first tarrif. The rest should be on the next tarrif band.

@Job thats the thing I am trying to say. There is nothing complicated here. First of all the costs are actually published... Google is your friend:
1 - 50 units is about 2bob per unit above 50 units it goes to about 12-13bob a unit above 100 or 200 or something like that, I cant remember. It jumps to 18-19bob a unit.
With that knowledge when you bought the 1st 64 units because it exceeded 50units you paid about 12bob per unit (do the Math). You should have routed for less than 50 units and you would have paid 2bob instead. When you bought more power in the same month you now being charged about 58units x 18/19bob = 1102 the rest is the charges
Moral, never pay for power by paying lump-sum of 1000 bob because that will get you more than 50 units and you will pay a higher rate. Secondly if you buy your units from an agent you get an itemized receipt which shows the breakdown of the costs very clearly

I gave up on trying to approximate how much the number of units might cost. Once I bought units worth 1000 sh and got 64 units only to buy more the same month worth 1200 sh and received 58 units. On enquiry I was told the moment I went over 50 units that month I was payin about 6 or 7 times per kwh as compared to 50 units and below. I think they need to publish this costs to help someone budget,
Power in Kenya is just not manageable, too expensive and most of the time unreliable.

*Subject: *Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
Surely it cant be that complicated. Its the way you buy units that's making you lose out. Look at this example. These are rough calculations just to illustrate the general idea
1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per unit for 200 units....
Here you spend about 4000bob
or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so
buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit
Here you spend 3600bob.
Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as opposed to buying in one chunk.
2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, the next time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months missed before you are given your units.
The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations that shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep

People there are no arguments here just a lively discussion. Its never that serious. In my opinion the fluctuations affect every industry but the power industry seems to inflate the effect too much. I think a live calculator on the site to show how many units I expect for a given amount of money and a comprehensive breakdown would alleviate most of our woes.

When the meters we being installed, they were sharing a booklet showing how the calculation was being done. It even went further to show a comparison with postpaid.
After I got to understand this my cost has been consistent since Feb last year or there about. Makes sense somehow.

Ambrose, Or another option would be for Kenya Power to provide an SMS or Web System where you can query how much it would cost to get X units for a specific meter number. That, I think is very easy for them to provide - if they are interested/bothered enough

@kenneth in that case then I would agree there is no flaw which then implies that my buying 120 units at a go and buying them in batches of 40 within one cycle should cost the same. I will experiment on that On 8 Feb 2014 10:41, "Keneth Kingori" <kkingori@gmail.com> wrote:
From Wednesdays daily nation
' Since December 1, Kenya Power has been charging Sh15.51 per unit of electricity as a base tariff. Domestic power users pay Sh3.93 for the first 50 units of electricity consumed or nearly double the previous rate of two shillings.
For those consuming between 50 and 1,500 units, the cost per unit went up by Sh2.20 to Sh10.30, while those consuming higher amounts pay Sh20.50 per kilowatt hour (Kwh) up from Sh18.57. '
You can observe your consumption in real time by entering 050 in the csu. You can find your biggest power hogs by switching on various appliances on/off and observing the usage. You might even discover a neighbour might be plugged in to your power at the meter, some landlords use unsuspecting tenants power for security lights!
Use 080 to show units consumed in the previous 24 hours.
There is no logic flaw, the system keeps a record of all previous purchases thus buying 49 units you pay 3.93 per unit, if you buy 2 more units later in the same billing period you'll pay 3.93 for one unit then automatically land in the second band and pay 10.30 for the other unit.

Coz if I buy 40, it should keep in mind/memory that the next batch I buy, only 10 units will be on the first tarrif. The rest should be on the next tarrif band.

@Job thats the thing I am trying to say. There is nothing complicated here. First of all the costs are actually published... Google is your friend:
1 - 50 units is about 2bob per unit above 50 units it goes to about 12-13bob a unit above 100 or 200 or something like that, I cant remember. It jumps to 18-19bob a unit.
With that knowledge when you bought the 1st 64 units because it exceeded 50units you paid about 12bob per unit (do the Math). You should have routed for less than 50 units and you would have paid 2bob instead. When you bought more power in the same month you now being charged about 58units x 18/19bob = 1102 the rest is the charges
Moral, never pay for power by paying lump-sum of 1000 bob because that will get you more than 50 units and you will pay a higher rate. Secondly if you buy your units from an agent you get an itemized receipt which shows the breakdown of the costs very clearly

I gave up on trying to approximate how much the number of units might cost. Once I bought units worth 1000 sh and got 64 units only to buy more the same month worth 1200 sh and received 58 units. On enquiry I was told the moment I went over 50 units that month I was payin about 6 or 7 times per kwh as compared to 50 units and below. I think they need to publish this costs to help someone budget,
Power in Kenya is just not manageable, too expensive and most of the time unreliable.

*Subject: *Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
Surely it cant be that complicated. Its the way you buy units that's making you lose out. Look at this example. These are rough calculations just to illustrate the general idea
1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per unit for 200 units....
Here you spend about 4000bob
or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so
buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit
Here you spend 3600bob.
Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as opposed to buying in one chunk.
2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, the next time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months missed before you are given your units.
The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations that shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep

People there are no arguments here just a lively discussion. Its never that serious. In my opinion the fluctuations affect every industry but the power industry seems to inflate the effect too much. I think a live calculator on the site to show how many units I expect for a given amount of money and a comprehensive breakdown would alleviate most of our woes.

When the meters we being installed, they were sharing a booklet showing how the calculation was being done. It even went further to show a comparison with postpaid.
After I got to understand this my cost has been consistent since Feb last year or there about. Makes sense somehow.

Ambrose, Or another option would be for Kenya Power to provide an SMS or Web System where you can query how much it would cost to get X units for a specific meter number. That, I think is very easy for them to provide - if they are interested/bothered enough

Lol, I would suggest you find a "sweet spot", which gives optimum units and beyond which you start paying more. Otherwise, you may be hitting bugs that no one feels are critical enough to be resolved. My sweet spot used to be KSh. 400, moved to KSh. 500 and seems to be now somewhere above that. Now that King or I has debunked the conspiracy theories, please send your crates of White Cap, either physically or in kind (M-Pesa). On 8 Feb 2014 10:55, "Jimmy Thuo" <jimmy.thuo@gmail.com> wrote:
@kenneth in that case then I would agree there is no flaw which then implies that my buying 120 units at a go and buying them in batches of 40 within one cycle should cost the same. I will experiment on that On 8 Feb 2014 10:41, "Keneth Kingori" <kkingori@gmail.com> wrote:
From Wednesdays daily nation
' Since December 1, Kenya Power has been charging Sh15.51 per unit of electricity as a base tariff. Domestic power users pay Sh3.93 for the first 50 units of electricity consumed or nearly double the previous rate of two shillings.
For those consuming between 50 and 1,500 units, the cost per unit went up by Sh2.20 to Sh10.30, while those consuming higher amounts pay Sh20.50 per kilowatt hour (Kwh) up from Sh18.57. '
You can observe your consumption in real time by entering 050 in the csu. You can find your biggest power hogs by switching on various appliances on/off and observing the usage. You might even discover a neighbour might be plugged in to your power at the meter, some landlords use unsuspecting tenants power for security lights!
Use 080 to show units consumed in the previous 24 hours.
There is no logic flaw, the system keeps a record of all previous purchases thus buying 49 units you pay 3.93 per unit, if you buy 2 more units later in the same billing period you'll pay 3.93 for one unit then automatically land in the second band and pay 10.30 for the other unit.

That means there is a logic flaw in the prepaid billing graduated tarrif. Buying 120 units at a go or buying them in batches of 40 all within 30 days should cost the same. Coz if I buy 40, it should keep in mind/memory that the next batch I buy, only 10 units will be on the first tarrif. The rest should be on the next tarrif band.

@Job thats the thing I am trying to say. There is nothing complicated here. First of all the costs are actually published... Google is your friend:
1 - 50 units is about 2bob per unit above 50 units it goes to about 12-13bob a unit above 100 or 200 or something like that, I cant remember. It jumps to 18-19bob a unit.
With that knowledge when you bought the 1st 64 units because it exceeded 50units you paid about 12bob per unit (do the Math). You should have routed for less than 50 units and you would have paid 2bob instead. When you bought more power in the same month you now being charged about 58units x 18/19bob = 1102 the rest is the charges
Moral, never pay for power by paying lump-sum of 1000 bob because that will get you more than 50 units and you will pay a higher rate. Secondly if you buy your units from an agent you get an itemized receipt which shows the breakdown of the costs very clearly

I gave up on trying to approximate how much the number of units might cost. Once I bought units worth 1000 sh and got 64 units only to buy more the same month worth 1200 sh and received 58 units. On enquiry I was told the moment I went over 50 units that month I was payin about 6 or 7 times per kwh as compared to 50 units and below. I think they need to publish this costs to help someone budget,
Power in Kenya is just not manageable, too expensive and most of the time unreliable.

*Subject: *Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
Surely it cant be that complicated. Its the way you buy units that's making you lose out. Look at this example. These are rough calculations just to illustrate the general idea
1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per unit for 200 units....
Here you spend about 4000bob
or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so
buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit
Here you spend 3600bob.
Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as opposed to buying in one chunk.
2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, the next time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months missed before you are given your units.
The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations that shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep

People there are no arguments here just a lively discussion. Its never that serious. In my opinion the fluctuations affect every industry but the power industry seems to inflate the effect too much. I think a live calculator on the site to show how many units I expect for a given amount of money and a comprehensive breakdown would alleviate most of our woes.

When the meters we being installed, they were sharing a booklet showing how the calculation was being done. It even went further to show a comparison with postpaid.
After I got to understand this my cost has been consistent since Feb last year or there about. Makes sense somehow.

You can observe your consumption in real time by entering 050 in the csu. You can find your biggest power hogs by switching on various appliances on/off and observing the usage. You might even discover a neighbour might be plugged in to your power at the meter, some landlords use unsuspecting tenants power for security lights!
Use 080 to show units consumed in the previous 24 hours.
There is no logic flaw, the system keeps a record of all previous purchases thus buying 49 units you pay 3.93 per unit, if you buy 2 more units later in the same billing period you'll pay 3.93 for one unit then automatically land in the second band and pay 10.30 for the other unit.

The token system is a mess. It is as if it they manually approve the purchase. Does anyone have an idea how they have done the integration to the Mpesa system may be we can know how the delays happen. They always say the system is done yet mpesa up.

I now see where your beef is. It is supposed to keep track of your previous monthy purchases and step accordingly regardless of broken down purchases or a single purchase. In that case there should be no difference with the bill other than the taxes levied on the Bill. According to KPLC, After 200 units "VAT charges shall be levied on all the electrical energy (units) bought from the beginning of the month." This should have changed with the new taxes. I guess KPLC has some explaining to do. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Jimmy Thuo" <jimmy.thuo@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Sábado, 8 de Febrero 2014 6:56:59 | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units | That means there is a logic flaw in the prepaid billing graduated | tarrif.

These are rough | | | | | calculations just to illustrate the general idea | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per | | | | | unit | | | | | for 200 units.... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here you spend about 4000bob | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here you spend 3600bob. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, | | | | | separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as | | | | | opposed | | | | | to buying in one chunk. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, | | | | | the | | | | | next | | | | | time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months | | | | | missed | | | | | before you are given your units. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations | | | | | that | | | | | shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Steve | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: "Mark Mwangi" < mwangy@gmail.com > | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke > | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sent: Viernes, 7 de Febrero 2014 18:37:37 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People there are no arguments here just a lively | | | | | | discussion. | | | | | | Its | | | | | | never that serious.
