6. The De Lucia Group has always been innovative and pro-active
when it comes to services and products that could benefit our
clients. The service of supplying pre-paid electricity is another
way in which we facilitate our consumers demand
Pre-paid metering benefits users, investors and trustees. Knowing what is consumed at any time
gives you the ability to control the cost of that consumption. Deposits required for pre-paid
metering are far less than conventional metering and purchasing pre-paid electricity is convenient
and the services are rendered 24/7.
Investors have more protection and suffer fewer losses when using pre-paid metering. With the
ability to monitor consumption at any time via the Internet and detect tampering or bypassing
of meters, gives investors and landlords more control over their occupants.
Trustees benefit from improved cash flow as payment is received up front before the council bill
becomes payable. This reduces the risk of non-payment of accounts and the risk of council
terminating services to the scheme.
The De Lucia comprehensive pre-paid electricity service
De Lucia has extended its prepaid service by providing a comprehensive service relating to the
management of Bodies Corporate municipal accounts and charges. We have acquired the
necessary expertise and knowledge of the workings of the local authorities and the National
Energy Regular of South Africa and developed an integrated system, which is beneficial to our
clients and goes far beyond the scope of just a prepaid metering system.
We have assisted many complexes with the conversion from conventional meters to pre-paid
meters and will gladly assist any complex considering the change to prepaid power.
