Story 1
Eskom has started rolling out free smart prepaid electricity meters in Sandton and Midrand as part of a major upgrade to its power network in Gauteng.
The new meters will help residents manage how much electricity they use, improve service reliability, and cut down on power theft.
Eskom says these smart split meters will give customers more control over their energy use at home.
Before the installation, the power utility is holding community meetings, door-to-door visits, customer forums, and ward sessions to explain how the meters work and share information on related programmes.
