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. 001436670 650_0 $$aElectric meters$$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan. 001436670 650_0 $$aSmart power grids$$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan. 001436670 650_6 $$aCompteurs électriques$$zAfrique subsaharienne. 001436670 650_6 $$aRéseaux électriques intelligents$$zAfrique subsaharienne. 001436670 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001436670 7001_ $$aNwulu, Nnamdi,$$eauthor$$0(orcid)0000-0003-2607-7439$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2607-7439 001436670 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKambule, Njabulo.$$tDeployment of prepaid electricity meters in Sub-Saharan Africa.$$dCham : Springer, 2021$$z3030712168$$z9783030712167$$w(OCoLC)1237347947 001436670 830_0 $$aLecture notes in electrical engineering ;$$vv. 759.$$x1876-1100 001436670 852__ $$bebk 001436670 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-71217-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001436670 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1436670$$pGLOBAL_SET 001436670 980__ $$aBIB 001436670 980__ $$aEBOOK 001436670 982__ $$aEbook 001436670 983__ $$aOnline 001436670 994__ $$a92$$bISE
