Abstract
Electricity is now an essential source of energy for humans and is purchased like any other goods and services. As a result, electric utilities have developed a variety of invoicing and metering methods. Nigeria has mostly transitioned to a prepaid metering scheme for electricity consumers. However, in many communities in the country like estates and universities, consumers are provided with only a manual mode of payment that is inconvenient, laborious, and available only on working days. In response to this obstacles, this work has developed an online electricity unit purchase system that will help residents of such communities purchase electricity units online. This will improve the overall consumer experience and surmount the limitations of the manual mode of payment. The implementation result of this work is a mobile application that enabled consumers to make payments online using a payment gateway and obtain a receipt containing the coded energy units purchased through the application.
