Meter Boards & Metering Panels

KPLC-compliant metering for every sector

Nairobi Power Engineers designs and builds meter boards and metering panels for domestic, commercial, industrial and infrastructure supplies across Kenya. Each board is arranged around the incoming supply, the metering method and the KPLC connection requirements for the tariff.

From single dwellings to multi-occupancy risers and bulk-supply CT chambers, we coordinate the meter position, isolation, sealing arrangements and outgoing distribution so the assembly passes inspection and energises without rework.

Boards are built to IEC 61439 with the enclosure, busbar and protective devices selected for the site fault level, environment and future spare capacity.

24/7 Emergency Support

Electrical service you can count on

When metering board equipment fails, you need fast, reliable help from experienced engineers. We offer around-the-clock emergency support across Nairobi and East Africa — keeping your plant safe and powered, day or night. Whether it is an urgent breakdown or a scheduled repair, our team is ready to respond whenever you need us.

Cost and Estimates

What drives the cost

What affects the cost?

The tariff and metering method (direct or CT), number of ways, enclosure form and IP rating, plus the OEM protective devices specified. Site conditions and delivery timelines also move the number.

Get a detailed estimate

Our engineers issue itemised quotations covering the metering compartment, isolation, distribution and factory testing — no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.

Standards and compliance

Assemblies follow IEC 61439 and KPLC metering practice, with sealed metering compartments and segregated tails ready for the utility connection.

Fast, reliable delivery

Whether it is a single consumer board or a bulk CT metering panel, our workshop builds, tests and documents the assembly ready for a clean commissioning.

Frequently asked questions

Direct metering or CT metering?
Direct metering is used up to roughly 100 A per phase; above that a CT metering chamber with the correct CT ratio is required. We confirm the threshold against the KPLC supply and the connected load.
Can you build to a specific tariff?
Yes. We arrange the metering compartment, isolation and outgoing ways for domestic, small-commercial or bulk-supply tariffs and provide the sealing points the utility expects.
What about multi-occupancy risers?
We build banked meter boards with individual isolation and labelled outgoing ways for apartments and commercial units, coordinated with the riser busbar.
Do you handle the KPLC inspection requirements?
We build to the connection and sealing requirements and provide the test records; the utility application and final seal remain with the customer or their agent.
