Pre-payment power metering

An attractive metering alternative available to our domestic customers is the pre-payment electricity meter.

Power is credited to the meter by means of a use-only-once token. The token is a magnetic strip card that comes in denominations of $5, $10, $20, and $50. The card is fed into a slot on the front of the meter and the value of the card is credited to the meter. The meter can hold credits of up to $999.

How much does it cost?

Who can use this meter?

Meters are currently available for people with a single phase electricity service. You must have access to the meter box to insert the token into the meter. Written permission is required from your landlord if you are renting.
