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.

You are not alone in this buddy.I can also not fathom a sudden surge on my monthly bill.

1.How good is your Neighbor....Labda unamsaidia (tapped)
2. 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

1. 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 Sad

Maybe I should just go full solar.

Something isn't right here. Your meter could also be faulty. What's your email address? i could follow this up for you, with someone at KP.

Pre-paid meter is a BIG rip off.

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.

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.
