They felicitate the information exchange between the service providers and the consumers, resulting in efficient management in the electricity supply. Implementation of Smart Meter system is only possible if the people, government and the investors are highly interested to implement this technology. Many Western countries like Great Britain (GB) and Canada have conducted Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) before starting installation of Smart Meters. The aim of this study is to compare the benefits of Smart Metering system against the traditional (electro-mechanical and pre-paid) meters on the basis of its Cost Benefit Analysis. So the main focus is to put emphasis on the cost benefit analysis and probability of this thesis work in this field of digitalizing the meter system across the country. The most important fact to analyze before the installation of Smart Meters is to find out the advantages of such technology as well as the cost behind the setup of such meter. For example, the installation and maintenance expenses, financial savings from the Time-of-Use (ToU) etc. Bangladesh is still relying on the prepaid meters whereas the modern world is trying to implement a smarter technology rather than prepaid meters. The question that comes from mind is that whether installing Smart Meter in our region is affordable or not. The establishment cost of installing mart meter may be high but in general, the roll-out offers a 1.36 benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR), which reflects the costs and benefits of lifetime. In order to investigate this study, Chittagong Municipality Area was chosen to find out the total consumers of this region and how can the prepaid meters be replaced with the Smart Meters within an approximate minimal expense. From the very beginning of installing the Smart Metering System the required costs were being calculated approximately which includes operational cost, maintenance cost, meter cost, In-home display cost, Data Communications Company (DCC) cost etc. The total cost of this project is set to be nearly $300.9M. The energy savings and power consumption cost are also discussed in the later part.Smart MeterCost Benefit AnalysisTime-of-UseEnergy SavingImplementationThesis
