The federal government has decided to introduce a modern and advanced electricity system in the country. Under this new plan, consumers will use electricity through prepaid cards, meaning they will load balance first and then use electricity according to their need.
This system will work just like a mobile phone top-up method. Users will add balance to their prepaid electricity card, and the meter will supply electricity until the balance runs out. When the balance finishes, the electricity will automatically shut off. As soon as the consumer loads more balance, the electricity will start again instantly — no need to visit an office or pay a monthly bill.
How This New System Helps Consumers
According to government sources, this new setup will free people from the stress of paying bills at the end of every month. It will also help users manage their electricity usage based on their budget. They will only use the electricity they have paid for, which means unnecessary usage and high monthly bills will be reduced.
The government has already sent letters to the heads of all electricity supply companies, asking them for their suggestions and plans. These companies must submit their proposals by the end of the month so that the prepaid system can be launched as soon as possible.
Benefits for Both Users and Companies
Officials say that the prepaid meter system will make electricity usage more transparent and easier to manage. Consumers will have complete control over how much electricity they use because payment will be done in advance. For electricity companies, this system will help solve the problem of late payments and unpaid bills since the supply will only be given after balance is loaded.
If the government successfully launches this project, the traditional monthly billing system may slowly disappear in the future. Over time, the entire country could shift to the modern prepaid electricity system, making electricity usage simpler, clearer, and more efficient for everyone.
