All you need to register is:

1.  Your Customer Account Number (found on the front your customer card)

2.  Your Mobile Number

3.  Your Email Address

Topping up your meter is really easy.     

Step 1. Simply download the PrePayPower App for Android or iPhone.      

Step 2. Register on the PrePayPower App using your customer number. This can be found on the card at the back of your welcome pack.     

Step 3. Choose your Top Up amount and click Pay Now.     

And that’s it! The credit will be automatically sent to your meter!

Auto Top Up is a really handy way to make sure you never have to worry about your credit running low. Simply choose the minimum balance, and once your meter reaches that amount your meter will Top Up automatically.

You can use this mobile app on multiple smart phones. Simply download the app on the other smartphone and use the same “ Email” and “ Password” to log in as you used on this phone.

You will receive a message when you top up on your App if your transaction has been successful. Your balance will update on the App screen after 24 hours.

If you run out of credit and lose supply, you will need to Top Up to restore power. You will also need to manually restore power by pressing “A” on your meter, then “B” to connect it again. After this your electricity will come back on straight away. Please be aware that this will restore power to any appliances powered on in your property so, make sure the appliances that were on before the supply was lost have been switched off.

Our “friendly” credit hours promise is that we’ll never cut you off in the evenings or weekends. This means that if you run out of credit on the times below, your supply will not be cut off until the next morning

FRIENDLY TOP UP HOURS

Monday to Friday: 23 hours a day. We offer 'friendly credit' from 3pm until 2pm the next day.

Saturday & Sunday: All day

However, the amount of electricity you use during these Friendly Credit Hours will be deducted from your next top up so we’d always advise customers to keep themselves in credit to avoid that rush to top up.

If you are unable to Top Up using the App, you can Top Up at any Payzone outlet and credit will be sent to your meter automatically. Just make sure you hang on to your receipt in case you need to enter your code manually.  Click here for store locations. 

No problem, simply go to the ‘Profile’ section of the mobile app and choose ‘Wallet’. You can choose to ‘Add new card’ or ‘edit’ your current card in this section.

If you are using Auto Top Up, there is no need to worry as your credit will automatically be applied if you go below a certain balance. 

If you are not using Auto Top Up, please remember your Top Up App can be used anywhere, simply use it to Top Up as you would at home. 

It’s advisable that you Top Up before you go on holiday to ensure appliances such as your fridge and freezer keep running. 

Bear in mind that daily standing charges will still be deducted from your meter if you’re away. Please ensure your balance does not fall below zero as you will need to be present to reconnect the power.

In the rare occasion that this happens, go to the history section of the App and manually type the Power Code into your meter in the following way:  

1.  Press “A” 

2.  Enter your Power Code 

3.  Press “B”

1. App – you will receive a message when you top up on your App if your transaction has been successful. Your balance will update on the App screen after 24 hours. 

2. Payzone –  Once a top up is purchased – your new balance will update automatically on your meter. Pressing the B key on the meter will show your balance.

Now you’re using Pay-As-You-Go electricity, you don’t have to deal with nasty bill estimates. But ESB Networks will still look for a meter reading four times per year in order to maintain the overall electricity grid in Ireland. This won’t affect your Top Ups in any way. If The ESB are unable to check your meter, you can submit your reading straight to us by text or email and we’ll send it to ESB networks for you!

How do I do it?

1. Find your ESB meter box – this may be inside or outside your home.

2. Read the numbers from left to right (excluding the number in the red box) – most meters in Ireland are a ‘revolving disc meter’. This means you will have either one or two lines of numbers.

3. Send it to us – by text or by email. Don’t forget to include your MPRN number (you can find this on your customer agreement form)

Simply send your account details via our online form.
