Thanks for raising this issue. I too am affected. For the last three months, I have had to pay an average KES 2,500 every month to KPLC, yet there is nothing that has changed in the house that would suddenly make by consumption to double. Before that, I used to pay average 1,200 monthly. There must be something that KPLC are upto, and I surely need to know what it is. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
I am with you. We usually pay 4,000 Ksh per month (big family) and all of a sudden we got a bill for 17,000 Ksh. How that makes any sense I cannot figure out. My husband spent an entire day in their offices only to be told to go to the main office branch. What is with customer service in Kenya?

We are in the same boat. My average bill is about Kshs. 350 - Kshs. 400, last month's bill came to over Kshs. 600. I paid Kshs. 700. Then using their email generated response (bill@kplc.co.ke), this month's bill has shot to Kshs. 1,115. I've contacted them via the customer feedback form on their website and #KenyaPower on twitter, but there's no response. I haven't made any changes to the normal electrical gadgets in the house.

That happened to me mid last year and the sudden rise in the cost was attributed to increase in cost of fuel. So i guess once you get through to customer care that will be th reason. If otherwise please tell us what explanation they will give. On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 11:09 PM, Solomon Mburu Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com>wrote:

You may try filling the feedback form here http://www.kplc.co.ke/index.php?id=75 or contact one of their customer care reps here http://www.kplc.co.ke/index.php?id=50 wonder why they dont deploy friendlier Urls
Well, I thin there is something happening at KPLC. When my bill double 2 months ago, I did not think much of it, I assumed I am just using more electricity despite the fact than I did not add any extra appliance. You know a month ago I even bought a couple of those light saving bulbs a replaced a couple of ordinary bulbs but that did not change anything. But from what I am seeing, I am not alone and with elections very near, I just tend to worry. Blackout in Nairobi have become so common as to be a daily occurrence. I remember the good old days when KPLC management had been outsourced to the Canadian Utility firm (Manitoba Power or something) and I can swear I did not experience blackout then, and I am starting to long for those experts to just come back and sort the mess with the KPLC. I am told we are not producing more power than demand, but things are simply getting worse. And I have no alternative vendor. Maybe the electricity sector should be liberalized the way of the telecoms sectors.
My bill rose from 700 to 4,000.......My neighbours living in apartments have more appliances and are daily using an electric fryer and their bill is 3K.........KPLC said the power bills are to go up, when did they ever go down? I believe they are taking major advantage, how much didnt they get from their IPO that they cant offer good services. Its kinda like a case of one supermarket in the country offering only water. They know that there is no other option, so they do what they want. If it were up to me: - solar field - back up electric charged generators - fuel pump - bore hole Freedom from Kenyan utility companies On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 9:11 AM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, they cant handle inflation (wil go down by itself), they cant manage money supply (cry to money brokers), they cant manage interest rates (cry to banks), they cant rebuilt the countryside (people recycle condoms, no money to buy from your county - even if u have money to buy condoms), are they still building Malili Ranch? (they are compensating those that grabbed expansion land) .... At this rate, when do we think some cheaper power will flow into our homes? There is no expansion in the economy, the power consumed is coming mainly from the extra lighting on our roads and the expanding apartments and not industry (thats my analysis). During the Moi era, the city and countryside were dingy, now they are all lit. When will we get cheaper power? Go nuclear? A Japan scale crising and we are doomed. Sorry no nuclear, we are clearly not ready. Solar, Wind and Geo are a better option though I don't know when we will adopt them commercially. Coal? May be Kalonzo should forget more politics and embrace more coal mining as a strategy to improve the lives of Ukambani region. Then we will have cheaper power from Ukambani coal fields.

I hear this a lot. Thing is though, most (slightly more than half) of your charges are tax. Hence the funding for shuttle diplomacy and all. The rest is money to couch potato organizations, erb being the largest. And of course kengen needs to make profits, as do kplc and some upstream providers. Between all these and some crazy government officials getting brown envelopes to facilitate some so called green companies to sell us expensive electricity, to say we are screwed is an understatement.

There is something in your bill called FUEL SURCHARGE which is directly proportional(with a constant which I shall call Punitive Constant Pu) to increase in fuel prices. This is the loophole in increased bills. However like someone said, that surcharge is put at anything........

-- Regards, Greg -------- Life is not a rehearsal, you only live once!
post paid pre paid whatever paid it wont matter KPLC can screw you over any how they want. I remember once we went for like 2years without electricity the dudes had disconnected from the post the bill was at 30K reason being we had dogs and reading was not possible so via estimates they bill 30K when they did the actual reading the bill came down to 7500 doing plenty of rounds in their office worst thing was reconnection from the post was 12K so they demanded 19K we went back to the dark nights we were used to they finally called and said they'll waive the post charges coz it was not our mistake and as such light is back on but the estimates are going to drive you nutts. One thing you can be sure, the reason the bills are going up is most people dont want the pre paid meters so by having bills playing some musical chairs on your wallet KPLC is busy making money and finally they get what they want reduce their work force and people take care of their bills and consumption but again you can be sure it will n ot stop there, they will have another card playing once every house is fitted with the new meter.
Problem KPLC is a company and as such has to make a profit (3.7B) AnnualReport 2009/2010 <http://www.kplc.co.ke/fileadmin/user_upload/1Report_Pages.pdf>, it is also a Govt body (40%) and has the obligation to provide the service to citizens at low cost to spur wealth for its people. Solution to the problem:- Be a Shareholder of KPLC and hopefully your dividends will cancel out your power bill. When you bill goes up..... so does your dividends. ...>> This thread should be labeled <OT>
Before we label it as OT, there might is a co relation bewteen power and ICT, the higher the costs , the higher the impact on ICT, however I think we tend to dwell on reliability of supply rather than costs

They will give you a credit, possibly next month, the same thing happened to us, we used to pay like 6k per month but January's bill shot to 20k. we paid after going to like all the KPLC branches in Nairobi, but come end of last month we have a bill of -12k. i urge you to relax and it will be corrected -- It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside of the frame
If you dont complain to them, they dont take action.......its like they do it on purpose On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 9:33 AM, joel eliakim <joeliakim@gmail.com> wrote:

Don't worry pre-paid Meters are being rolled out. So you can buy units to use when you need power. So, if you are away you need not to bother of surprising bills on your return. The problem will only arise if your units get consumed quickly than you use power. On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 7:55 PM, Felakut Theo <egmasp@yahoo.com> wrote:
guys ,
i totaly need some insight here,
on 2nd march i paid KPLC my bill of 280KSH and my balance was reading -19.80 ksh...which was very correct since i paid in excess.
now in less than 20days...my bills are reading over 2500ksh.
to make it worse i have been away from for 2 months and i had switched my main switch off.yet i get my unit reading that i have consumed over 190 units.
Is this logical and which is the right channel to resolve with KPLC.?
