@Bigbaibe, if you had buy the units as follows:

1st 49 units @ 550
2nd 49 units @ 550
3rd 49 units @ 550
And 18 units @ 312

Total units 165, cost Kes. 1,962 (Save Kes 1,038)

Its cheaper to buy units below 50 units.

This is my two engineering cents!

d'oh! d'oh!

Go to pre-paid and put the KShs in the steps as you have explained above. I used to be in your boat but realized it doesn't work that way.
See also my comment in post #49.

Electricity Saving Box. I'm using one.It saves up to 30% of your power use by stabilizing and eliminating power loss[wastage] hence lowering your bill by similar margin.

Hey. When you state such a thing, you give more details!!! What is this electricity saving box? Where are they sold? How.much do they cost? How do they work? Where and how are they installed? Are they legal? Are there additional benefits of risk? etc.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

There are not many ways to do this...but..

1. You can conserve by using less electricity resulting in a lower demand for more water from the dam.

2. You can conserve by use of energy saving bulbs and similar green energy gargets e.g. the modern fridges and other low consuming devices

3. You can even go solar thas demanding little from KPLC. I suggest you tabulate the ROI and check if it makes sense.

4. You can for example shower with cold water, creating no additional demand on KPLC etc.

Think of more ideas

I got one 2 weeks ago from a relative. It's a small plug-like thing with two led indicators, you simply plug it in any live socket in the house or office [not for industrial use]. No idea about the cost as yet, it was a gift.

I understand its completely legal,that's after he talked to KP. Apparently any device connected to power after the meter [in your house] is not Kenya power's business.

I'm testing it for one month to see if the billing will be lower.
