Abstract	A prepaid power meter represents a modern approach to measuring electricity consumption on a periodic basis. This method eliminates the need for manual meter reading and data collection typical of conventional systems. While standard meters display consumption at the load center, there is a critical need for systems that transmit this data directly to the Power Development Department (PDD). This paper details a GSM-based prepaid meter designed for enhanced transparency between users and the PDD. The GSM Automatic Power Meter Reading System (GAPMR) integrates an energy meter with a microcontroller and display to capture and maintain electricity consumption records.
