Eskom has finally started a national update for the 6.6-million prepaid electricity meters under its control before they all become non-operational late next year. The utility said that the update, which has been under way for a little over a month, has been a success so far. The update is necessary to avoid a date rollover issue that will stop all 70-million STS-compliant prepaid electricity meters in the world from vending electricity after 24 November 2024.
