Payment options

We have a range of options to make it easy for you to pay your electricity bill. Choose the one that works for you.

Paying your bill

  • Direct debit

    Direct debit is the easiest way to pay your bill with the amount due deducted automatically from your bank account each month. It provides you with the reassurance and convenience of knowing your bill will always be paid on the due date, so you'll never miss out on your prompt payment discount.
