Absolute Energy Solutions Prepaid Electric Meter offering
Prepaid electricity is similar in principle to the pay-as-you-go cellular telephone option. The operation is exactly the same – the electricity user pays for a voucher (R100-00, say) and receives in return a code which has to be keyed into a prepaid electricity meter in order to receive a given amount of electricity.
For the landlord, this has the benefit that his tenants receive the electricity they pay for without feelings of mistrust on either side.
or the tenant, or even the the consumer who elects to use prepaid council meters, the benefits are that power can be monitored and budgeted for with less waste than would otherwise be the case.
The remainder of this article describes the system on offer by Messrs. Meter Mate - one of the partner companies of Absolute Energy.
