Prepaid energy top up & Coronavirus

From The Poor Side of Life blog:

How do you top up your prepaid energy meters?

"Dear readers I’ve been chasing down all the major energy companies on Twitter and asking them what their emergency provisions are for people unable to go to a shop to top up an energy card or key.

It’s a very important issue because so many of us, myself included are stuck on prepaid meters. If we don’t top up we get cut off and then what are we supposed to do?

Are we expected to just put up with being cut off from everything or is there help out there?

So to find out I started tweeting the major energy companies straight away. It was extremely eye opening to see that so many people didn’t even think about this being a problem. On the other hand many people were concerned and have shared my tweets."

I Think you will Find that over the last Year or so Most people who were using Pre-pay Meters have Moved over/Converted to Smart Meters.

I did 2 Years ago, Best thing I ever did, now just "Top Up" on line, Quick and easy, And no more having to walk up to the shop on a wet day to top up my card.
