The efficient utilization of electricity currently represents one of the biggest concerns around the world. This has resulted in a shift from convention electromechanical meters to prepaid electricity meters as they provide better security and control and enable users to pay for electricity in advance as well as keep track of the electricity consumed. Besides this, prepaid electricity meters help minimize the gap between the cost of power supply and revenue realized by ensuring timely payments. Consequently, their utilization is increasing in both the emerging and developed economies.
Prepaid Electricity Metering Market Trends:
At present, there is a significant rise in the demand for energy security across the globe. As energy conservation and efficient utilization of power are key aspects of energy security, there is an increase in the overall sales of prepaid electricity meters across the globe. These meters instantly provide data of power consumption, which is then analyzed by users to control the use and stabilize energy demands. Besides this, prepaid electricity meters are getting more preference, especially in emerging economies, as the leading electricity firms are focusing on reducing their financial losses due to consumers’ reluctance or inability to make bill payments on time. Furthermore, governments of numerous countries are mandating the utilization of prepaid electricity meters to minimize human intervention in metering, billing and collection.
