He said the upgrade would take effect from Aug 1.
Achife added that the upgrade would involve integration of a global software update into STS meters, making them compatible with the new TID Rollover protocol.
“This upgrade is imperative as, starting from Nov. 24, 2024, all STS meters worldwide will cease to accept old credit tokens without the necessary meter upgrade.
“To facilitate a smooth transition, IBEDC will provide its prepaid meter customers with Key Change Tokens (KCT) alongside their regular energy tokens when purchasing electricity,” he said.

“Obtaining the KCT is free, and customers can upgrade their meters without any impact on the current electricity tariff,” he said.
