Grrrrrrrrrh....... seems like KPLC cooked by bill for this month. The bill is 3 times what i normally pay!

All factors are the same, I have not bought any new electricals nor do i cook with stima! Is there a way i can validate this yaani kitu like usage details?

Now this has interfered with my already tight budget!

Do the meter reading first and check if they are estimating. They sometimes send you a bill, don't say it is an estimate, just because someone was lazy to read it.

Mine too, i paid it grudgingly. Guess they used estimates, but hata kama ni estimates why 3 times higher? My queries yielded no fruit, so i had to pay to avoid disconnection.

What i suspect they do is, if you are a very prompt payer they can get to load you with a "cooked" bill. They have done so to me on two seperate accounts, so, i took the reading myself. I was in a lot of credit. Take it to their desk, and someone will reverse the 'cooking'

sometimes KPLC sent you actual bills but the meter was read late(After the usual date they read). the billing of the consumption is done based on the units consumed, and the more the units the more the charge per unit. However this does not justify the bill shooting to thrice the amount.

>>KPLC has not been reading my meter. They've just been billing me on estimated units. As a shareholder it's ok since it's expensive to read the meters every month. The only problem is if the month they take the readings it coincides with a high FCA. Like it jumped from 4/18 to 4/67 in latest bill.

Mine doubled. Could the increases in global fuel prices got anything to do with it?
