What is kWh?
Kilowatt-hour or kWh is a unit of electrical energy that indicates the amount of energy used. The device used to measure how much electricity you consume over a certain period is called a kWh meter.
This device is usually installed outside the house so it can be easily checked by PLN officers. It is important to note that the kWh meter is owned by PLN and used to record electricity usage.

There are two types of kWh meters:
● Prepaid, which uses tokens
● Postpaid, which is billed monthly
You can choose based on your needs and electricity usage habits at home.
