2. Enter the token into your prepaid meter keypad.

3. The purchased units are added immediately.

4. Your meter displays your available electricity balance.

This system ensures you only pay for what you use and helps avoid unexpected electricity bills.

Understanding Mangaung Prepaid Electricity Tariffs

Mangaung uses an Incline Block Tariff system, which means the price per unit increases as your consumption increases.

For example:

• Lower electricity usage is charged at a lower rate.

• Higher usage is charged at a higher rate per unit.

• Seasonal tariffs may apply, with winter electricity costing more due to higher demand.

  
  

On average, Mangaung prepaid customers receive around 302 units of electricity for R500, although the exact number depends on tariffs and consumption blocks.
