Pay as you go - EDF Energy

The advantages
• You will have direct control over how
much gas or electricity you use and how
much money you spend
• You will no longer receive bills requesting
a lump-sum payment
• Regular statements will show you how
much gas or electricity you have used
• There is an emergency credit facility in case
you run out of credit on your meter and
can’t charge your key/card for any reason
• If you have an outstanding bill, you can
use your prepayment meter to repay the
money you owe us. Your payments are
spread over a time period that suits you,
in agreed amounts that you can afford,
interest-free
The disadvantages
• If you leave home for several days, you must
remember to charge your key or card, and
to credit your meter. This is because your
credit is used to pay for your daily energy
use and any debt repayments – so if you
don’t charge your meter enough before
going away, appliances that should be on
all the time (e.g. freezers) may switch off
• You need to recharge your key or card
at a charging outlet, but sometimes your
nearest outlet may be closed
• You are unable to take advantage of a
Direct Debit discount that is available to
standard credit customers
