Prepaid Smart Meter

 

In our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, the adoption of Smart Meters aligns perfectly with our University's "green" initiatives. These smart meters offer real-time monitoring of their consumption, enabling us to collectively make more informed choices about our energy usage. By being more conscious of their own consumption patterns, students could potentially contribute to conserving energy making a positive impact on the environment.

 

  • The Prepaid Smart Meter system gives students' greater control over their energy consumption.

  • Real-time data access allows students to monitor their usage and learn how to conserve energy effectively.

  • The system promotes fairness by charging units only for consumed energy.

  • It encourages collective responsibility for energy use among residents in shared living spaces.
