General FAQs

I’ve received an estimated bill. How do I submit a self-service meter read?

COVID-19 restrictions may mean that access to your meter is limited. If you’ve received an estimated bill, you can supply a self-service meter read online.

Supplying your own meter read is simple:

  1. Fill out the Contact us form. Make sure you have your account number handy (you can find this at the top of page 1 of your bill).
  2. In ‘What's your enquiry related to?’, select ‘My meter’.
  3. Select the ‘Add a customer read’ sub-category.
  4. In the ‘Enquiry’ section, enter your meter read, reading left to right and including all the zeroes before the numbers. Don’t forget to include the date of your self-service meter read.
  5. Upload a photograph of your meter, including a date and time of your self-service read if possible. You could include a mobile phone or fitness tracker screen in your photograph to show the time and date.
  6. We will then send you an updated bill that reflects your actual usage. 

If you’re having trouble reading your meter, our 'How to read your meter' guide can help you identify your meter type and read your meter accurately.

What if I’m moving house?

In most cases, we don’t expect any interruptions to your move in date as a result of COVID-19. However, if your property is in an area that is affected by COVID-19 restrictions, distributors must adhere to COVID-safe guidelines – to ensure their safety and yours. This may result in some delays to the usual connection and disconnection turnaround times. We will continue to have regular communication with your distributor to ensure your power is connected as soon as possible.

If you are experiencing issues with your electricity or gas supply, please contact your distributor. Your distributor’s phone number can be found in the top right corner of your latest bill.

You can also find more information on emergencies, faults and outages, including distributor contact details, here.
