Power board prepares to put in place prepaid meters in Ggm

The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) is preparing to get existing postpaid smart energy meters changed to prepaid ones in Gurugram, officials said on Tuesday.

According to senior officials, the conversions will be carried out on a large scale and are part of the smart city project. It will primarily focus on consumers living in government colonies by asking them to opt for the change.

The state-owned enterprise is offering a 5% discount on the monthly energy bill to any consumer who switches to a prepaid smart meter. Campaigns will be soon launched across Gurugram urging consumers to opt for prepaid meters.
