This document describes the design of an intelligent SMS-based remote electricity metering and billing system. The system uses a GSM modem connected to a microcontroller to allow an electricity provider to remotely read electricity meters, send bills to customers via SMS, and disconnect or reconnect power based on SMS commands. The system provides advantages like automated billing, improved revenue collection, transparency, and better customer service compared to traditional meter reading. There is potential to expand it to support multiple customers by connecting the GSM modem to a server database.
