Key information about Utilita Energy
Utilita Energy is an independent UK energy supplier and the leading provider of smart pay as you go energy in Great Britain. Every customer is supplied with a free smart meter.
Depending on your supply type, a smart metering system is usually made up of a gas meter, electricity meter and an in-home display. All three pieces of equipment communicate with each other and also with Utilita Energy. The in-home display shows you:
- The amount of energy you are using in real time
- What your current credit balances are
- How long each balance is likely to last based on your current rate of usage
You can choose to pay for your energy in two ways. You can pay via monthly direct debit. Alternatively, you can pay as you go and pay for your energy in advance online, via SMS, using the Utilita Energy app, or at any PayPoint outlet with cash or card.
Utilita Energy emphasises the quality of its customer care and promises that every customer can have the support of a specialist advisor who is experienced in handling any enquiry.

Help for low income families or those in debt
Utilita Energy says that its smart meters will help you to save energy and money. This is because the meter shows you how much energy you are using and how much this is costing.
Utilita Energy also has an Extra Care Team. This team is trained to offer you energy saving advice, discuss energy efficiency and help you monitor your usage.
If you are struggling with debt, Utilita Energy suggests you get in touch with the debt charity StepChange. This charity provides free debt management and insolvency solutions.
If you are on income support, job seekers allowance, pension credit or employment and support allowance you might be eligible for the Fuel Direct Scheme. The Fuel Direct Scheme means your gas and electricity bills are paid directly out of your benefits payments.
Warm Home Discount Scheme
Utilita Energy is a member of the Warm Home Discount Scheme, although applications are closed for 2016/17. It plans to run the scheme again and advises people to keep an eye on its website and social media accounts.
You automatically qualify for the scheme if you receive the Guaranteed Credit element of Pension credit.
You may be eligible for the scheme if you are on a low income or you receive certain means-tested benefits.
The Warm Home Discount is usually a discount on your electricity bill. Because Utilita Energy uses smart meters, the scheme works slightly differently. If you have a smart meter and are a pre-payment customer, it credits the payment directly to your meter. If you do not have a smart meter and are a pre-payment customer, it sends you a voucher that you can redeem at any PayPoint outlet. If you are a billing customer, it deducts the payment from your monthly or quarterly bill.
