Meter Top-up

What do I do if my meter doesn't top-up immediately?

You can top up your meter using the 20 character Unique Transaction Reference Number (UTRN) that was sent to your phone or is printed on your receipt. You can enter the 20 characters using either the keypad on your meter or the In-Home Display (IHD) if you have one. If you cannot find the UTRN you can see it by logging into your account.

How do I see my top-up history?

You can see your top-up history in your account. The most recent top-ups will be shown first.

What is a UTRN?

UTRN stands for Unique Transaction Reference Number. It is a 20 character number that is sent to your phone or printed on your Post Office receipt every time you top up. Normally when you top up a message will be sent immediately to your meter topping it up automatically - you don't have to do anything.

However, just in case the message is delayed, you can top your meter up immediately by entering the UTRN into your meter using your In Home Display (IHD) or the keypad on the meter.

Debt Payments

What is funds splitting?

You can arrange with your energy supplier for part of each top up to be used to make payments for other purposes such as paying off an energy debt. You choose a percentage of each top up and this will be automatically credited to a separate account. You will be able to see these payments in your online account.

How do I arrange funds splitting?

You arrange this with your energy supplier
