Abstract

The objective of the project are to reduce delays at energy metre billing counters and automatically limit energy meter usage, if the bill is not paid. The study also seeks to provide a mechanism that will lessen the amount of money lost to power theft and other illicit activities. The method of work takes a completely novel idea for a “prepaid energy meter.” GSM technology is employed in order for the customer to get notifications regarding your power usage (measured in watts); if it hits the minimum, it would immediately notify the user that they require a recharge. This method works well for distributing various kinds of electricity. Businesses, exclusive areas, IT parks, and self-contained home developments. Prepaid electricity billing systems that use GSM-based communication address problems with metering and billing faults that result in revenue loss for the Nigerian power sector. This creative approach reduces errors in meter reading caused by human error, electro-mechanical metre imperfections, and payment processing issues. It is widely used to guarantee accurate invoicing, eliminate past-due bills, and increase utility revenue.
