What’s on the home screen?
Pay as You Go
Your estimated balance will be here. While your meter is in positive credit, we will provide an estimate of how many days of energy we believe you have left, before you will need to top-up or accept your emergency credit.
It is important to note that the balance is an estimate and is calculated from using information from your mid-night snap shots (Meter readings taken every day at mid-night), top-up history and half hourly usage data (if applicable).
In case you ever misplace your card, we have included your top-up card numbers on this page. Remember you don’t need a physical card only the number on your top-up card to use it, even at the shop!
You are also able to generate e-cards using My Utilita. If you are wondering what an e-card is... An e-card is an electronic top-up card, which can be used just like your ordinary top-up card, if you are unable to access it.
Credit customers
Your latest bill can be viewed here, it will let you see the amount of your energy charges, the consumption used and the dates you were billed for.

What’s a POWER UP?
Worried about going off supply? Unable to top-up?
POWER UP will let you borrow credit until you can next top-up. When you have used more than £6 of emergency credit, the option to POWER UP will become available.
-
How does a POWER UP work?
All you need to do is tell us when you will next be able to top-up, and we will use your smart meter to automatically work out the amount of credit you will need! In case we’re a little off, you can adjust this amount to anywhere between £1-£30.
-
Can I POWER UP both meters?
Yep! Once you have finished a Power Up application for one meter, you will have up to 10 hours to do POWER UP for another meter. After 10 hours, My Utilita will recognise that you now have an outstanding balance and you will be unable to POWER UP again until it has been completely cleared.
-
How do I pay a POWER UP back?
After you have finished selecting the amount of credit you need, you can adjust the percentage of your future top-ups will go towards repaying it. This recovery rate can be set anywhere between 25-100%, it’s entirely up to you. So, if you want to repay the entire amount when you next top-up – you can!
-
Why Can’t I POWER UP?
There are certain circumstances where you will not be able to POWER UP.
Typically, these tend to be:
- You still have credit available on your meter
- You already have an outstanding balance
- You have requested credit from our Extra Care team
- You have requested a POWER UP more than 10 hours ago
- You don’t have a smart meter yet
- We are not able to communicate with your meter
If you are ever unable to POWER UP, you will receive a notification in the message centre explaining why and what to do next.

How many people can sign in to one account?

To keep your account secure, when you register or de-register a new person the main account holder will receive an email notification.
