How we can support you with your energy bill payments
There are lots of things we can do to help make your electricity and gas payments more manageable.
Enjoy lower unit cost and low debt repayment rates with a smart Pay As You Go meter
We can agree on smaller debt repayments with you when you switch to a smart Pay As You Go meter. You'll also be able to:
- Enjoy lower unit rates (cost for each unit of energy used)
- Budget more easily as you'll see where you use energy
- See exactly how much you're spending in pounds and pence
- Set up alerts in MyAccount to get a text or email reminder to top up
- Activate £10 emergency credit if your balance drops below £1
- Top up whenever, from wherever you are - with our phone app, in MyAccount, by phone, or in a shop with a PayPoint symbol
Book your smart meter installation
Or call us on 0333 200 5104(1) to book an installation appointment.
Save when you switch to Direct Debit
You'll save more money when you pay by Direct Debit(2) because you'll pay less for every unit of energy you use.
It's quick and easy to change your payment method online:
- Log into MyAccount and select 'Payment Method Change'. You can also register for MyAccount if you haven't used it before.
Pay less, more often
Do you currently pay a big bill every three months? You may find it easier to pay a smaller, more manageable amount every month instead.
It's quick and easy to change your payment method online:
Log into MyAccount and select 'Payment Method Change’. You can also register for MyAccount if you haven't used it before.
Switch your energy deal
Are you wondering if you could save money by switching to a different energy tariff that also suits your needs more?
If your current tariff is due to end within the next three months you won't have to pay any exit fees.
- Log into MyAccount and go to 'Tariff details' to see if you can swap.
