The Managing Director, Kenya Power, Benard Ngugi has launched the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project of the Kenyan utility, Kenya Power. The project is a part of the World Bank-funded Kenya Electricity Modernisation Project and plans to meter 55,000 customers. According to CapitalFm Newspapers, the project which is funded to the tune of SH1.25 billion is scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2021.
“We believe that the advanced metering technology will further enhance customer satisfaction based on the visibility and prompt detection of power usage and also reduce technical losses which, are key to ensuring reliable and quality supply of power”, stated Bernard Ngugi while speaking at the launch of the project.
The metering project has targeted the metering of 20% of the company’s SME customer base.
