After credit cards and pre-paid cellphone cards, it's now the turn of pre-paid power. A forum consisting of reputed, high profile powermen and several private sector companies has commenced efforts to sell the concept of pre paid power both to the government and consumers. All a consumer has to go to the nearest 33/11 KV substation and pay for his power supply in advance which will be credited into his account and he would be given a code number.
