★★★★★

"I manage 12 rental units in Kasarani. PawaGen lets me see every meter balance at a glance and auto top-up handles everything. I haven't had a single tenant complaint about power in 3 months."

James Mwangi
Landlord, Kasarani
★★★★★

"The auto top-up feature is a lifesaver. Power used to cut out at midnight — now it never does. I get an SMS before it even gets close to empty. Absolutely brilliant service."

AH
Amina Hassan
Homeowner, Kilimani
★★★★★

"As an agent, the portal is incredibly fast. I can register a new customer and buy their first token in under 2 minutes. My clients love the instant SMS token delivery — no more handwriting tokens."

PO
Peter Otieno
PawaGen Agent, Mombasa
★★★★★

"I love that I can pay with Airtel Money — not everyone uses M-Pesa. The token arrives on my screen and as an SMS within seconds. Best electricity app in Kenya by far."

Customer, Nakuru
★★★★★

"The usage analytics showed me I was using 40% more power than my neighbours for the same size unit. I fixed a faulty geyser and halved my bill. Never had that kind of insight before."

DK
David Kamau
Tenant, Westlands
★★★★★

"Referred 8 friends and earned KES 800 in wallet credits. That's two months of tokens for free. The referral system actually works and credits are instant — not like other apps."

Everything you need to
know

PawaGen is a licensed electricity token distribution platform that interfaces with the KPLC API to generate valid STS/IEC 62056-compliant tokens. All tokens issued are genuine KPLC prepaid tokens identical to those issued at KPLC service centres.
Token delivery is instant — typically under 3 seconds from payment confirmation. You receive your token on-screen immediately and via SMS simultaneously. In rare cases of network delays, delivery may take up to 30 seconds.
The minimum purchase is KES 50 and the maximum is KES 70,000 per transaction. There is no limit on the number of transactions per day. For bulk purchases above KES 70,000, please contact our support team.
When you enable Auto Top-Up on a meter, PawaGen monitors your balance percentage. When it falls below your configured threshold (e.g. 20%), the system automatically purchases a token for your preset amount (e.g. KES 1,000) using your PawaGen wallet. You receive an SMS notification when this happens. Ensure your wallet has sufficient balance.
We support M-Pesa (STK Push and Paybill ), Airtel Money (collection prompt), PesaPal (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express), and the PawaGen Wallet. All payment methods are fully secured with SSL encryption and PCI-DSS compliance for card payments.
Yes. PawaGen supports unlimited meters under one account. Each meter can have a custom nickname, separate auto top-up settings, and individual usage tracking. This makes it ideal for landlords, property managers, and businesses with multiple premises.
This very rarely happens. If it does, your transaction appears as "Processing" in your history. Wait 2 minutes and refresh — the token will appear. If it doesn't, raise a support ticket from the app. We resolve all disputed transactions within 2 hours and issue a refund or token within 24 hours if there's an error on our end.
No. PawaGen charges zero markup on KPLC tokens. You pay exactly the official KPLC tariff rate — the same price as buying directly from KPLC. PawaGen earns a distribution fee from KPLC, not from customers. The convenience is completely free for end users.
To become a PawaGen agent, contact us via the support ticket system or email agents@pawagen.co.ke. Agents earn a commission on every token sold through the agent portal. There are no setup fees. You'll receive your agent access key and training within 48 hours of approval.
