Help Paying Your Business Energy Bills

We know that balancing your energy bills whilst running a business can be tricky, that’s why we’re here to offer tools and support to help you pay your energy bills and manage your account.

How to Pay  


When it comes to paying your energy bills, there are several options available to you, so you can choose the one that works best for you.
 

  • Direct Debit: The easiest way to pay, with a direct debit plan, you don’t have to worry about paying your bills on time. We’ll use your meter to generate an accurate bill and take your payment automatically. 
  • By Phone: You can call our friendly Customer Care team on 0115 975 8234.
  • Online: Our online customer portal is an easy way to view and pay your energy bills and manage your account details. If you haven’t already, you can set up your My Account login here.  
  • Pay-As-You-Go/Pre-Payment Meter: PAYG meters are a flexible way of managing your energy and making payments in smaller chunks. You can top up your meter as much or as little as you want via our app or by going to an in-person PayPoint and paying for your energy before you use it.

If you’re struggling to read your meters or submit a payment, check out our troubleshooting guides or speak to a member of the team on 0115 9758258.

What Happens if I Can’t Pay My Bills?  


We understand that there are circumstances that may make it difficult to pay your energy bills, and if your account falls behind on payments, you should
contact a member of our team on 0115 975 8234 as soon as possible to discuss your options.  

We will contact you on multiple occasions to inform you of any outstanding balance and any action that will be taken – this may involve additional fees to your account or passing your details onto our debt recovery partners. 

Disconnection is a last resort, and we will seek to come to an arrangement – such as switching you meter to Pay-As-You-Go mode – to resolve the issue first. If your supply is disconnected, you will need to pay your outstanding balance as well as a reconnection fee and a security deposit to restart your supply.
