Prepaid electricity for every room. Collected automatically.
Give each room its own smart meter. Tenants top up from their phone, usage is deducted in real time, and power cuts off automatically at zero balance. No more splitting the TNB bill or chasing payments.
Sound familiar?
Splitting one TNB bill
Dividing a single bill across rooms leads to arguments over who ran the air-cond all night.
Chasing late payments
Collecting utility money every month takes time, and tenants who move out owing are hard to recover.
No visibility until month-end
You only see the total when the bill arrives, long after the electricity has been used.
How it works
- 01
A meter for each room
A compact DIN-rail meter fits each room's distribution board; wall-mounted models suit shared meter boards.
- 02
Tenants top up
Online by card, FPX, DuitNow or e-wallet, or collect payment your own way and top up for them.
- 03
Usage deducted live
Each room's balance drops with the actual kWh used, at the rate you set.
- 04
Auto cut-off at zero
Power switches off when the balance runs out. After top-up, switch it back on remotely. No site visit.

Common questions
Does Splinergy replace my TNB meter?
No. Splinergy meters are sub-meters installed after your TNB meter, inside your own distribution boards. You still pay TNB for the building's total usage; Splinergy measures and bills each room, unit or circuit behind it.
How does prepaid electricity work?
Each meter has its own balance. Tenants top up, the balance drops as electricity is used, and supply cuts off automatically when it reaches zero. Once the tenant has topped up, you switch the power back on remotely from the platform, with no site visit needed.
How do tenants pay, and what are the fees?
With the optional built-in payment gateway, tenants pay by Visa, Mastercard, FPX online banking, DuitNow or e-wallets including Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, ShopeePay, WeChat Pay and Alipay. A 5% payment fee applies to all payment methods and is deducted from each top-up, so a RM 100 top-up adds RM 95 to the tenant's balance. The money goes to the property owner's bank account.
Do I have to use the online payment gateway?
No. The payment gateway is optional. You can collect payment from tenants your own way, top up their meters yourself in the platform, or switch a tenant's power off and on manually. The 5% payment fee only applies to top-ups made through the gateway.
Should I choose 4G or Wi-Fi meters?
Choose Wi-Fi if the building has stable Wi-Fi reaching every distribution board: the hardware costs less and there is no data plan. Choose 4G where Wi-Fi is weak or unavailable, such as basements, meter rooms and remote sites.
Who installs the meters?
Meters are installed inside the distribution board. Our team can install them for you, or your own registered electrician or contractor can do it. Tell us about your site and we'll advise on the right setup.
How much does the Splinergy platform cost?
The Splinergy platform is RM 10 per meter per month, on a 12-month contract paid upfront (RM 120 per meter per year). On the PSNA-6, every module counts as one meter, including the gateway. Hardware is a one-time purchase from RM 130, and 4G meters need a data plan from RM 35 per year. For large sites, contact us for custom pricing.
