This project replicates an original electricity billing system where a person collects data from your electricity meter. The main objective of this project is to automate the entire process, compute the electric bill amount on the basis of units of electricity consumed, apply different tariff rates based on usage, and generate bills with details like consumed units, charges, and bill due date.

Learning outcomes:

• You will learn how to create classes and have a basic understanding of object-oriented programming 
• Design a user-friendly interface for managing data and generating bills
• Knowledge of file handling techniques to store consumer data and bill information using files are databases 
• Use of conditioner statements and loops in Java to calculate bills based on usage and apply different tariff rates

What it takes to execute this project:

• Download and install JDK and Eclipse IDE to set up your development environment 
• Decide on the functionalities and design classes for your project 
• Focus on core functionalities like adding customers, recording meter readings, calculating units consumed, and generating bills 
• Build a user-friendly interface to make the application accessible on different devices and add extra features (if needed)
• Test your program thoroughly to ensure the application is free from bugs and ready to deploy in the market 

Real-world applications:

• Small electricity providers can use it to manage their customer data, generate bills, and track customer payments
• Society management systems can use such a tool to calculate electricity bills for individual apartments within a society
• Hotels and guest houses can use it to calculate the daily electricity consumption of guests
