How do I top up my prepayment electric meter?

It depends which type of meter you have. Here's what you need to know for traditional and smart electric meter top ups, and how to get a refund every time too.

Regardless of your meter type, you'll get an email from the Fused team that tells you:

  • What type of electric meter you have

  • Where you need to go to top up

If you have a traditional pre-payment electric meter:

  • Check your emails for an RTI code from the One Utility Bill team

    • This is a seven-digit reference number specific to your meter.

  • Check the post at your new address for a meter key from the One Utility Bill team.
