Abstract

Bottled gas smart metering is among the strategic innovations which have transformed the energy sector in Africa. Research has proved that using this measuring device on bottled gas (liquefied petroleum gas) increases access to clean cooking among low-income households. Smart metering technology cuts down the initial investment costs and the running costs which are the major barriers to the utilization of LP gas. Apart from scaling up the adoption of modern1 clean cooking fuels, the diffusion of smart metering innovation offers various technological opportunities which can help to promote economic growth; but it is also associated with several technological challenges which may adversely affect economic progress.KeywordsTechnologySmart meterBottled gasPay-as-you-CookOpportunityChallenge
