Energy Payment Methods

Your circumstances may restrict the ways in which you are able to make bill payments, and when you are able to make those payments. The method of payment selected can also have an influence on the amount charged.

The following list details the different ways in which you can make bill payments:

Pay on Receipt of Bill

Payment is made upon receipt of your bill, either by posting a cheque, or as a cash or cheque payment at a bank, building society, Pay Point or Post Office outlet. Some companies also allow you to pay over the phone by quoting your debit card or credit card details.

Fixed Monthly Direct Debit

A Direct Debit mandate is established instructing the supplier to debit your account each month with a fixed amount, based on the expected annual cost of your bill.

Variable Direct Debit

A Direct Debit mandate is established instructing the supplier to debit your account each quarter with an amount equal to your quarterly bill. The Direct Debit Guarantee ensures you are notified at least 14 days in advance of the amount to be debited.

Pay a Year In Advance

Payment is made a year in advance, based on an estimated level of consumption for the year. At the end of each year, a reconciliation will take place to adjust for any overpayment or underpayment.

Continuous Authority Credit Card

Authority is given to your supplier to charge your credit card each quarter with an amount equal to your quarterly bill. The Direct Debit Guarantee ensures you are notified at least 14 days in advance of the amount to be debited.
