How Does PrepayPower Work?

PrepayPower, as the name suggests, only offers pay-as-you-go plans (PAYG).

For these types of plans to function properly, you need to have a non-credit meter installed as well as have a control system that will allow you to add credit to your meter when you need it.

Therefore, when you sign-up with the provider, the first thing that will happen is to receive the visit of a PrepayPower installer.

As part of your PrepayPower contract, a keypad controlloer will be installed in your home. Each number on the keypad represents a different function, with 9 different functions overall.

Numbers 1-9 will tell you:

1. Your credit left in terms of days (this is an estimate based on the previous week's usage)
2. Cost of previous electricity used (by days, weeks, and months)
3. Unit rate and units used
4. The first five digits of the last powercode you entered
5. All the money you’ve ever credited the meter with
6. Electricity in kilowatts being used at that moment
7. Standing charge repayment rates (if applicable)
8. Highest consumption in any 30-minute period over the last 24 hours
9. All of the units you’ve used since getting the meter

If you want to know how to top up, see our complete PrepayPower Top Up guide.

Does PrepayPower Have an App?

In contrast to their keypad, the PrepayPower app is sleek and modern with large touch button options.

2. Track the amount and date of your last five top-ups in the 'History' section.
3. Hear your PrepayPower Powercode as you type it into the keypad with the 'Speaker Powercode' feature.
4. Send top-up Powercodes to family or friends at home by text and/or email using the 'Share' feature.

You can download the app for free from both Google Play (for Android) and the App Store (for iOS). To register on the app, you’ll need to provide the following information:

• Your customer account number (it’s on the front of your top-up card)
• Your mobile number
• Your email address
