If you’re going away, you still need to have credit on your prepayment meter.
There must be enough to cover:
- Daily standing charges
- Any debt being collected by your meter
- Any appliances that use energy while you’re away
- For example your fridge and freezer
If you don't keep your meter topped up with credit, you may go off supply while you're away. You’ll need to re-pay any outstanding amount plus £1 to get back on supply.
