This paper presents a methodology for assessing the smartness required of an electricity meter for affordable, inclusive, and sustainable electricity access in the Global South. The multicriteria decision making tool Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilised for developing a framework for assessing smartness. The framework relies on input from experts to assign specific weights to various criteria contributing to smartness. As an example, a select few meters available in India are evaluated based on their smartness score and affordable costs, and the insights obtained are discussed. It is shown that the framework developed provides a new means for selecting smart meters cost-effectively without compromising on sustainability. |
