Emalahleni Local Municipality has completed the STS and TID rollover meter reset, and it is imperative that all community members using prepaid meters take prompt action to ensure their meters are also converted.
WHAT IS STANDARD TRANSFER SPECIFICATION (STS)
The Standard Transfer Specification is the global standard for the transfer of electricity and other prepayment tokens. It secures message system for carrying information between a point of sale and a meter, and is currently finding wide application in electricity metering and payment system.
THE WAY FORWARD
To ensure uninterrupted access to essential services, it is crucial to convert your meters to STS before the deadline in November 2024. Failure to do so could lead to disruptions and inconvenience for those who have not completed the conversion.
Emalahleni Local Municipality is prepared to help and guide residents during this process. We encourage all community members who have not yet converted their meters to STS to visit the Municipality: Revenue Protection Offices, 19A Northey and Mandela Street.
RESIDENTS ARE GRANTED AMNESTY TO REPORT AND COMPLETE THE CONVERSION FROM 01 OCTOBER 22 NOVEMBER 2024. THIS AMNESTY PERIOD PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENT AND AVOID ANY POTENTIAL SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.
