Usually, the households have post paid electricity connections. On the consumer side, post paid connections have drawback that the consumption of electricity is not tracked by the consumers and many times they are shocked, when they receive high bills. The cause of getting high bills is usually not the high electricity rates but is the unconscious overuse of electricity. Prepaid electricity connections are usually suggested as the viable solution to this problem. In a prepaid electricity connection, consumer would need to recharge the amount of electricity they want to consume.In such a system, the household electricity meters need to be equipped with a system that could be acknowledged of the amount recharged by the consumer and could count down the electricity consumption from the recharged amount to zero. Once the meter reaches zero, the main supply would be automatically cut off and could be resumed only after the next recharge.
