Smart electricity meters for all households in Bengaluru by March 2025
After smartphones, smart homes and of course the smart city, it’s time for smart electricity meters. And if Bescom has its way, every home with an electricity connection in Bengaluru will have a smart meter by March 2025.
But before giving you more details on the power utility agency’s ambitious project, let’s answer the basic question: What is a smart meter?
A smart electricity meter can do much more and a lot better than what a traditional electricity meter does without having any of its hassles.
Another feature is prepaid meters that can be topped up just like prepaid mobile phone plans. Consumers can pay only for the amount of electricity they intend to use.
