Getting a smart Pay As You Go meter

A smart PAYG meter lets you pay for your energy up front. It allows you to:

Take control: top up with credit as and when you want
Choose how you top up: top up via the app, online, over the phone, at your local PayPoint retailer – or set auto top-ups.
Never get caught short: set a low-balance alert to let you know when it's time to top up.

How to switch to PAYG when you already have a smart meter
