In other hand, the traditional energy meter suffers from well-known measuring errors. This Smart Electric Bill Predictor System provides an excellent solution to traditional meters problems where the system will design based on the use of energy smart meter to read electrical energy consumed to get an accurate reading. Then the energy reading is sent to the control center in the electricity department based on GSM/SMS technology. The electricity department receives readings and makes processing operations and extracts the customer bills.
