Did KPLC install new meter reading technology?
In other news, Kenya Power began nationwide deployment of a new meter-reading technology.
The utility said the new system is aimed at improving billing accuracy, speeding up data collection and eliminating errors associated with manual entry.
The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system, unveiled on Monday, November 24, 2025, replaced conventional manual typing.
It will enable meter readers to scan meter displays, automatically capturing and processing readings with far higher precision.
