How does direct debit work?

With Direct Debit, the amount due will be paid on the due date of each bill automatically from your preferred payment method.

You’ll still receive a bill, so you can easily keep track of your energy consumption.

Unfortunately, for customers who are currently on a payment plan, we’re unable to sign you up to direct debit.
