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.
