How to Check Kenya Power Meter Number (KPLC Guide 2026)

Quick Answer: To check your Kenya Power meter number, enter the correct code on your prepaid meter keypad (e.g., #100# for Conlog or 804 for Hexing). You can also dial *977#, check previous token SMS, or contact Kenya Power support.

Finding your Kenya Power meter number is essential when buying tokens, managing your account, or contacting support. According to official guidance from Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), there are several reliable ways to retrieve your meter number depending on your meter type.

Method 1: Check Meter Number Using Your Meter (Official KPLC Codes)

This is the fastest and most recommended method by KPLC.

Meter TypeCode to Enter
Conlog Meter#100#
Hexing / Intech Meter804 + Enter
Actaris Meter100 + Enter
Shenzhen / Star Instrument Meter65 + Enter

CIU-PLC 75#

000# and 100# can also work on other meters

Once entered, your 11 digit meter number will appear on the screen.

Tip:

If you don’t know your meter type, try each code until one works.

Method 2: Use KPLC USSD Code (*977#)

KPLC provides a self-service USSD platform for customers.

  1. Dial *977#
  2. Select Prepaid Services
  3. Choose Meter/Token Services
  4. Follow prompts to view your meter details

This service works across all Kenyan mobile networks.

Method 3: Check Previous Token SMS or M-Pesa Receipt

If you’ve ever purchased tokens:

  • Check your M-Pesa SMS confirmation
  • Review messages from Kenya Power

Your meter number is always included in token purchase transactions via Paybill 888880.

Method 4: Contact Kenya Power Customer Care

If all else fails, contact KPLC directly:

  • Call 97771 (Customer Care)
  • Email or reach out via official social media channels

You may need to provide identification or account details for verification.

Alternative Method: Check Your Meter Physically

Some meters have the number printed on the device or meter box.

This is less reliable but can work if the label is still visible.
