Chapter 1: Introduction: Electrical-Energy Revolutions and Smart Grids -- Part I: Smart Prepaid Electricity Meters -- Chapter 2: Rationale Part I: Historical Development and Market Expansion -- Chapter 3: Rationale Part II: A Misdiagnosis of Non-payment and Electricity Theft -- Chapter 4: 4 Prepaid Electricity Meters and Energy Poverty—Lesson from South Africa -- Part II Sub-Saharan Region: Adoption and Experiences -- Chapter 5: Western Africa Region -- Chapter 6: Eastern Africa Region.

This book provides a novel and holistic perspective on the deployment of prepaid electricity meter technology among energy impoverished (vulnerable) households based in developing or under-developed communities of Sub-Saharan Africa. It explores and reviews the nexus between the technology and socio-economic development, technology acceptance and rejection in low-income households, and ultimately proposes a contextual model to avert or assuage energy poverty in the region using the technology. Science is applied as a convenient, valid, and reliable model to generate bespoke, contextual, and relevant knowledge for policy makers on the development of prepaid meter market in the region. The knowledge shared contributes to extant discourse and debates around the effectiveness of the technology within indigent household settings. The book is intended for energy/electricity utilities, prepaid electricity businesses, policy developers, and other interested parties whose work is related to prepaid electricity meters.
