Kenya Power A CON?

Can someone please tell me how one can go from using 120 units a month to 320 with no change in appliances!? In fact I haven't even been home much these past two months. I've gone from paying 2k to 6k. In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

Check if your bill has an E ( for estimate) if it does write the down the correct meter reading go to KPLC aghakhan walk and have it changed to reflect the correct amounts Don't limit your challenges, but challenge your limits

I'll have to have it inspected, you never know what your neighbour is capable of. 2. It was not estimated, even when I took the reading to them they said it was correct  Maybe I should just go full solar. In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

What's your email address? i could follow this up for you, with someone at KP.

Not sure how true this is.Was advised if you buy on 1st of every month you get it cheaper than if you buy later. So for the last 3 months I buy 3k worth on the first . Unfortunately they are inconsistent. ..March I got 165 units, April 147, May 149, June 148. That translates to average 19 to 20 per unit. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

That translates to average 19 to 20 per unit. KPLC should just educate people more on this.Its important for customers to understand how the units are calculated.But then again......its a monopoly! Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I have just applied for three phase back at shags and am being told that The company cannot connect it because they units I've put up are not enough to warrant 3 phase, I have tried to argue that this is in the meantime, but they are adamant that the form shows the current/proposed usage is not in tandem regardless of my future plans. Anyone out there who knows how they operate? The three phase wires are just overhead the place. Accept no one's definition of your life; define your life.

Have not applied for a three phase but a friend did and was approved after cat and mouse chase and some sintax. I cant remember the cost but about sh50,000. He had a single posho mill to run and no other premise is using the 3-phase. They sadly give so many flimsy reasons until you either give up or "negotiate" "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

I thought this happens at shags when they want to take you in circles. Accept no one's definition of your life; define your life.
