Sub Metering

Choose between Non-Smart (Prepaid) Meters and Smart Meters to better manage your electricity consumption and spending.

  • No manual meter reading—save time and avoid errors
  • Two-way communication for real-time updates
  • Tamper detection and alerts
  • Works with both conventional and STS prepaid modes
  • Remote connect/disconnect functionality
  • Load control to manage consumption
  • Track your usage and spending in real time
