Three easy ways to top up your PAYG electricity
Your questions, answered
A keypad meter is Northern Ireland’s pay as you go (prepayment) meter. You enter a top-up code on the keypad to add credit, and the meter shows how much you have left.
With PAYG electricity you pay for your electricity before you use it. Buy a top-up code, enter it on your keypad meter, and the meter uses your credit as you go. There are no monthly bills, and you can check your balance on the meter whenever you like.
Our launch tariff is the pay-as-you-go 24H tariff. It’s made for customers with a keypad meter.
We also have an EV tariff for electric vehicle drivers
If you have a bill-pay (credit) meter, call us on 0330 024 9000 and we’ll talk you through your options. You can see our current rates on our tariffs page.
You can top up in two ways: by phone or at a PayPoint outlet.
Before you start
Have your top-up card with you, and the 19-digit premise number from the front of your card.
Top up by phone
Call our 24-hour automated phone service on 0330 024 9000 and choose option.
Top up at a PayPoint outlet
Take your card to a PayPoint outlet. You’ll get a voucher with a 20-digit top-up code.
Then enter your code on your meter.
Your address and postcode, and your Keypad Premise Number (KPN), the 19-digit number on the front of your top-up card. If you can’t find it, your Meter Serial Number on the meter works too.
For most meters, NIE Networks has a step-by-step guide on how to read your meter. NIE Networks meter-reading guide
Have a keypad meter? Press 9 on your keypad. It shows the total units of electricity used, and you can use that number as your meter reading.
Your supply stops when your credit and any emergency credit run out. Top up and your power comes back on.
Call us and we’ll order a replacement card for you. In the meantime, we can give you your 19-digit premise number so you can continue to top up while you wait for your new card to arrive.
