Simple energy management 

Once you log in, you'll be taken directly to the portal homepage.

Here, you'll find a clear overview of your account, including your current balance, next invoice date, previous month's energy usage, and payment method.

Save energy by monitoring consumption 

Smart meters provide valuable insights into your business’s energy usage, helping you reduce consumption and lower costs. Our Customer Portal makes it easy to track and understand your energy use. 

Select Usage from the navigation menu to view a visual breakdown of your consumption by meter. Usage is displayed as a stacked chart showing: day rate in green, night rate in blue and standing charge in grey. 

Depending on your meter type, you can view your usage by day, week, month, or year, and switch between viewing data in kWh or pounds.

On desktop, your meters are displayed on the right-hand side of the screen; on mobile, they appear below the chart. You can view all meters together or select individual electricity or gas meters for more detailed insights. 

If you do not yet have a smart meter, please contact us and we can arrange to install one for you at no extra cost.

Changing how you pay

Keeping an active payment method on your account helps ensure payments are made automatically, reducing the risk of missed bills and saving you time. 

To set up a Direct Debit, select "Make a Payment" from the Customer Portal, then choose "Set Up Direct Debit" and follow the on-screen instructions.

For Bank Card payments, select the card you want to use, enter the amount you want to pay. Next click 'Make a Payment' where you will be taken to our secure payments page. When you enter your bank card details via our online platforms you are giving us permission to collect future payments through continuous payment authority ("CPA") via the same card.

The portal also offers several flexible payment options, allowing you to choose the method that best suits your needs. You can:

  • Pay an outstanding balance
  • Pay your latest invoice
  • Make a payment based on your energy usage
  • Enter a custom payment amount

These options give you greater flexibility and control over how and when you manage your payments.
