Payment plans
If you pay by Direct Debit, it’s really important that you do not cancel this, as you may incur additional charges and placed onto an alternate tariff. Opting for direct debit payments is often the best option as it spreads the cost of energy across the year.
Tariff options
We offer fixed and flexible tariff choices, including SmartFix, SmartFix Renewable, and SmartPay. Fixed competitive electricity prices tariffs are secured against market uncertainty. SmartPay can reduce monthly costs and allows you to choose when you pay.
Meter readings
Providing us with up-to-date meter readings will help ensure that you are being billed correctly. This prevents you from being charged for energy you haven’t used. Smart meters can save you time and money when providing you usage readings.
