npower is to launch the first smart-meter trial in Britain to offer a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) multi-energy service, providing customers with an innovative ‘single credit balance’ function and the ability to top up their credit directly via the in-home Customer Display Unit (CDU) or even via a text message.
Designed for customers using npower’s PAYGO tariffs, the new ‘Easi-pay’ trial provides a unique way to manage energy usage and cost when allied with advanced consumption information that a smart meter can offer. The trial forms part of npower’s smartpower programme, a roll out of intelligent products and services designed to help UK households start to reduce energy usage and lower their bills ahead of the full nationwide deployment of smart meters by 2020.
