Yes, you can! A prepayment meter operates like a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) system, which means you only pay for the energy you use upfront. This provides you with full control over your energy spending, eliminating the worry of monthly bills. By using a prepayment meter, you’ll only spend what you’ve already topped up, helping you to better budget your energy costs and avoid unexpected charges.
Our smart prepayment meters come with an in-home display that shows you exactly how much credit remains on your meter. This feature ensures you’ll always know when to top up and never run out of credit unexpectedly.
If you’re struggling with your energy payments, switching to a prepayment meter could be a helpful solution. It allows you to manage your energy usage by setting limits on how much you spend, making it easier to stick to your budget. Furthermore, if you have any existing debt, we can arrange to spread the repayment over a period that’s more manageable for you.
However, bear in mind that if you use more than you budgeted for and are not able to top up, you may end up losing supply.
Please note, we currently only offer our standard variable tariffs on prepayment meters. You may be able to get a cheaper price by paying us via Direct Debit on a fixed tariff.
We’re here to support you every step of the way. If switching to a prepayment meter sounds like the right choice for you, call our specialist prepayment team free of charge on 0800 092 7454. We will be more than happy to help and guide you through the process.
