    I can't top up right now, how can I get access to my emergency credit?...

    If your balance falls below £2 and you can’t top up your meter straight away, good news is that you can activate your emergency credit, you'll get £10 for electricity and £10 for gas. Once the emergency credit is used up, your supply will disconnect unless you top up.

    You can see how to activate your emergency credit and lots of other useful information for your meter type by visiting our Smart Pay As You Go meter help section on our website.
