"STS token meters" using "sneakernet" via cards or 20 digit numeric tokens typically can't communicate back to the utility, so they still have to read them and check then for tampering.
It's less than the normal monthly readings, so the utility can save some money.
Really good prepaid smart electric meters like the Echelon (http://www.echelon.com), Elster (http://www.elster.com) or Itron (http://www.itron.com) ones communicate back to the utility company so they get usage information, and are very tamper resistant. Good prepaid electricity payment systems like UtiliFlex (http://www.utiliflex.com) gateway that information into utility company CIS systems, keeping them from having to read a meter, unless they suspect tampering from abbarent usage patterns or tamper alerts.

How much electricity was used for the electric chair?
None from the public electric grid. Everyone who had an electric chair powered it from electricity generated on the prison grounds.I once read a list of what prison officials did on the day a murderer was scheduled to die in the electric chair. About 90 minutes before the execution, they would start a big diesel generator located on the prison grounds. An hour before the execution, they'd switch the whole prison from the grid to this generator. This is probably so death penalty opponents couldn't use an act of terrorism--blowing up the substation that fed the prison, cutting the lines leading into it, whatever--to stop the execution.Morbidly funny: A couple years before they fried Ted Bundy, someone sent a prank letter to every newspaper in the state. It said the state of Florida had contracted with Tennessee Valley Authority to purchase more electricity for that night. It also asked all Floridians to turn off their televisions, air conditioners, dryers and other appliances starting three minutes before Bundy's scheduled execution; doing so would supposedly allow them to pump as many as five additional megawatts into the chair. (It turned out not to be necessary to ask people to do this--I think half the state of Florida showed up at the prison to cheer when they finally fried Ted, and most of them turned off their dryers before they went.)
