Abstract:
In Uganda, Umeme Ltd is responsible for the billing and supply of electric power.
Previously a postpaid metering system was used but there was a challenge when it came to
recordingofthereadings becausemost premiseswereinaccessibleduetodifferent reasons.
Umeme later introduced Yaka, a prepaid metering system where the customer is
automatically turned off once the units paid for are fully used up. But the system was not
enabling the user to set the daily target unit consumption. This project aims to design an
improved pre-paid metering, monitoring and control system for the user which can be used
to modify the current Yaka System to solve the above- mentioned challenges. This system
also allows the user to load units using the key pad and a phone
