KENYA
PayGo Energy, a Kenyan company, is achieving success with
a smart device that helps households monitor and manage
gas consumption. Its Cylinder Smart Meter also helps gas
retailers extend reach and track distribution metrics. Users’
cylinders are connected to the cloud and their mobile phones.
