UNDERSTANDING HOW IT WORKS

By understanding kilowatt hours (kWh), how much it is costing you, and how much of it you need for your appliances to run, the more control you have when it comes to your electricity needs!

As of April 2024, the average price of prepaid electricity in South Africa is around R2.07 per kilowatt hour (kWh). This is a 12.74% increase from the previous price of R1.84 per kWh.

One kWh is the amount of energy needed to run a 1,000-watt appliance for 60 minutes.

Electricity prices can vary by location and may also depend on the amount of electricity consumed per month:

Cape Town: In April 2024, the price was R3.76 per kWh
Pretoria: In April 2024, the price was R3.43 per kWh

F.A.Q.

How does the Prepaid work?

When a consumer purchased a voucher and requests a token he has to provide his meter number. A request is sent to us and we send the token back for the requested amount. The money is paid into our account, which we -in turn- pay to the landlord, body corporate trust account or, (who ever pays the municipality). The consumer takes his token and punches it into the meter. The meter is now updated with a fixed amount of electricity to be released until it runs out with which the meter will then disconnect the electricity supply and the consumer then has to buy another token.

What does prepaid electricity cost me?

The meter is a once-off price. There after the electricity price charged covers the cost of electricity that the municipality charges plus the costs involved in providing prepaid electricity vouchers or tokens which is 13%. Included in the price is a fee charged by Triple-M Prepaid Metering Services which covers the costs of all the services provided including the secure connection between your meter number and the Triple-M Prepaid Metering Services host computer.

Where to buy tokens?

Pick ‘n Pay,  Shoprite, Cigicell, Saicom, Ra Cellular, Cell Air, Top it up, Glocell

Whose property will the pre-paid meters be?

It will be the property of the entity that has purchased them.

Who will be responsible for replacement of faulty meters?

The supplier issues the meter with a 1-year guarantee which we will replace free of charge
