Kenya Power deployed Optical Character Recognition technology to automate meter reading nationwide. The company said the system, tested in Nairobi for six months, now supports meter scanning across all eight regions. OCR captures readings directly from the meter display, reducing manual entry and improving data accuracy. The utility plans to extend the technology to customers through the MyPower app and the *977# USSD platform, enabling users to scan and submit their own readings.
