When it comes to your home energy, control matters more than ever.

Your Pay-As-You-Go meter puts you in charge of your electricity and gas costs. Because you pay in advance and always know what you’re spending.

Plus, you can top up (from €5-€175) anytime via your app, online or at the nearest Payzone.

You’ve also got plenty of Friendly Credit hours and the option to activate Emergency Credit.

And remember:

• PrepayPower gives you freedom from shocking bills and unwelcome surprises.

• PrepayPower gives you the power to decide when and how much you pay.

• PrepayPower gives you complete visibility of your usage and costs.

• PrepayPower gives you the support you need whenever you need it.

So feel free to call us on 1800 929 022.

The PrepayPower app is your all-in-one electricity control centre. It’s like a smart meter that fits in your phone.

With the PrepayPower app, it doesn’t matter if you’re on the go or on the couch, you can always:

• Make quick and easy top-ups (instant or automatic).

• Check your balance and the number of days until your next top-up.

• Track your usage and spending in hours, days or even weeks.

• See if your consumption and costs are trending higher or lower than average.

• Chat with our team, activate Emergency Credit and restore your power.

Some insights and features for the PrepayPower app are only available to SmartPay+ customers.

For example, their account balance updates every hour. So they can track their electricity costs in real-time. 

Then there’s the Savings feature. It helps you budget for your energy by setting something aside for top-ups. 

The Savings feature gives not one but two ways to save: 

1. Once-Off: Add to your savings in seconds anytime, anywhere.

2.  Automatic Routine: Pick a day and amount to save each week and let your app do the rest.

Did you know? New PrepayPower customers reduce their energy usage by an average of 8.3%* one year after switching.

So don’t forget to keep track of your consumption and cost insights from your PrepayPower app or meter.

This will help you control your daily electricity usage and avoid unnecessary spending. 

For example, checking your personalised insights makes it easier to: 

1. Identify when your consumption is highest and lowest. 

2. Adjust your usage based on real-time data. 

3. Pinpoint the appliances that consume the most power – and money. 

4. Expose vampire energy (used by always-on devices). 

5. Cut out waste such as lighting and heating unoccupied rooms.

We can activate a debt recoup payment plan in the rare event your PrepayPower electricity or gas meter goes into arrears. This allows you to repay any outstanding debt in smaller, more manageable instalments from future top-ups.

How it Works

We’ll notify you if debt accrues on your account and create a recoup plan based on your ability to repay it. Then a set percentage (10% max.) will be deducted each time you top up until the debt is repaid. You can also choose a higher percentage or repay the debt in full.

Your payment options include online, in the shop (any Payzone outlet) or via your PrepayPower app. Please call our dedicated customer support line on 1800 929 022 for more information.

You’ve protected yourself from disconnection by joining Prepay Power. We only request disconnections in rare cases of vacancy or confirmed fraud when a customer refuses to engage.

Please find details of the disconnection moratorium for non-payment of an account.
