Are you still confused about how to top up your electricity token? Well, the process is actually quite simple and easy to do. For those who use prepaid electricity, purchasing a token is necessary to enjoy uninterrupted power supply.
According to the official website of Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), an electricity token or credit is a 20-digit number that is entered into the prepaid meter when topping up electricity. The denominations for purchasing electricity tokens range from Rp20,000, Rp50,000, Rp100,000, to Rp1,000,000.
The amount of electricity kWh (kilowatt-hour) that a customer receives when topping up with a Rp20,000 token is different from that of a Rp50,000 token. The higher the denomination of the electricity token, the more kWh the customer will receive.
New users of the prepaid electricity system often find themselves confused and frequently ask how to top up their electricity token. Here is a simple guide on how to top up your electricity token when it runs out:
1. Check the remaining electricity token displayed on the meter.
2. Prepare the 20-digit electricity token number that you have purchased.
3. Enter the 20-digit electricity token number by pressing the number buttons on the PLN meter.
4. If you make a mistake in entering the token number, you can press the arrow down button to delete.
5. Press the enter button below the number 9 on the meter.
6. Ensure that the status „BENAR“ or „ACCEPT“ appears to confirm a successful token top-up.
7. Check the meter light; if it turns green, it means the electricity credit is sufficient. If it shows „SALAH“ or „REJECT“, repeat the process by entering the 20-digit token number correctly.
In addition to these steps, it is also important to learn the secret codes of the PLN electricity meter.
