Smart meters and prepayment systems have the potential to make a radical difference in delivering electricity to more people across Africa and in bolstering the finances of the regions’ debt-laden utilities
Smart meters can help drive energy efficiency, boost business process digitalisation and achieve operational savings. For users, they are also a way to save money and have total visibility on energy spend and usage.
These high-tech gadgets have a key role to play in the ongoing electrification of Africa, a continent where millions of people are still deprived of modern energy. Bboxx, for example, is delivering scalable solar energy access to remote communities linked to smart metering systems and has recently announced its arrival in Africa’s largest market – Nigeria.
