Prepaid Electricity

Manage your electricity, your way

With prepaid electricity, every customer can control their electricity usage according to their needs and abilities.

 

Similar to topping up phone credits, the prepaid electricity system requires customers to purchase tokens in advance, which are essentially electric recharge vouchers consisting of a 20-digit number. These tokens can be obtained from banks, ATMs, or online utility bill payment counters. 

 

To use them, customers input the 20-digit token number into a specialized device called a kWh Meter with Prepaid Meter using a provided keypad. The meter's screen displays vital information, allowing customers to monitor their electricity consumption effectively:

 

- Information on the amount of electrical energy (kWh) entered.

- The amount of electrical energy (kWh) already in use.

- The real-time electrical energy consumption.

- The remaining electrical energy.

 

When the stored electrical energy in the meter is running low, the meter signals this immediately. Thus, customers can always keep track of their electricity usage in real time, giving them complete control over their consumption.

 

Advantages of Prepaid Electricity:

1. Easier Control: With electronic prepaid meters, customers can monitor their daily electricity consumption closely. The display on the meter shows the remaining kWh, empowering customers to manage their usage effectively.

 

2. Budget-Friendly: Prepaid electricity offers voucher values ranging from Rp 20,000 to Rp 1,000,000. This flexibility allows customers to align their electricity spending with their budget and needs, providing greater control over family finances.

 

3. No Late Payment Penalties: Say goodbye to extra costs due to late payments. Prepaid electricity eliminates the burden of additional charges associated with overdue electric bills.

 

4. Increased Privacy: For those who value privacy, prepaid electricity meters automatically record electricity usage, reducing the need for house visits from service personnel. This leads to more accurate meter readings with no recording errors.

 

5. Convenient Access: Prepaid electricity vouchers are widely accessible, with over 30,000 ATMs across Indonesia offering them. They are also available through online electrical outlets.

 

6. Ideal for Rental Properties: Owners of rental properties can benefit significantly from prepaid electricity, ensuring that tenants take responsibility for their electricity bills and adapt their usage to their needs.
