pay for electricity using mobile airtime

The BuyPower Namibia service allows users to purchase pre-paid electricity using their mobile airtime. This is the first service of its type in Africa and represents a disruptive but effective and convenient solution to the purchase of prepaid electricity. It also enables the sale of prepaid electricity in remote and regional areas for the unbanked where other forms of micro-billing are uneconomical or impossible.
