Our expert opinion on PrepayPower

PrepayPower's main advantage is the complete control it gives customers over their energy spending through a pay-as-you-go system, allowing for better budgeting and real-time usage tracking. However, customers considering switching to a PAYG supplier should bear in mind the higher electricity rates and daily charges, as well as the inconvenience of frequent top-ups and the risk of disconnection if credit runs low.

PrepayPower pros and cons

Strengths

  • Ireland's only dedicated PAYG electricity and gas supplier.

  • Provides tools, such as mobile apps, that allow customers to track their energy consumption in real-time.

  • The prepayment system eliminates the need for monthly or bi-monthly bills, simplifying household finances.

Weaknesses

  • Prepay electricity, in general, can be more expensive due to higher standard unit rates and additional daily charges for the prepayment meter itself.

  • If credit is not maintained, there's a risk of disconnection, which can be particularly problematic for vulnerable customers.

  • Customers have reported issues with trying to switch away from PAYG suppliers.
