SNEL announced the start of a forced collection operation for unpaid electricity bills in Kinshasa from October 1, 2026. Customers are urged to settle their bills at SNEL counters with proof of payment during inspections. Persistent unpaid bills will result in power cuts, and service will only be restored after full payment of arrears and reactivation fees.
