#Ghana prepaid electricity meters don't tell power black outs or prepaid delay

Prepaid electricity meter alarm sound

The prepaid meter in Accra started sounding the alarm that units on the device was getting finished.

The gentlemen took his card to a power vendor in the neighbourhood for a recharge only to be told the very familiar message that “the network is down so you can leave your card and money and come back later”.

But.....

Pre financing sometimes could freeze for more than 10 hours,

so no power
