If you pay for your household energy by prepayment electricity meter (PPM), then you have until 30 June to redeem money-off vouchers.

The Energy Bills Support Scheme, which ran between October 2022 and March 2023, enabled households to save £400 off the cost of their energy bills over the course of the six months. While most households received this discount automatically via their electricity supplier, traditional PPM users were required to redeem monthly vouchers sent to them by their supplier

for use at either Post Office or PayPoint top-up points.

How do I claim?

Claiming a voucher is simple. PPM users should bring their voucher, ID and electricity prepayment key or card to the top up point specified by their electricity supplier. Vouchers can then be redeemed in store immediately.

Previously issued vouchers expire after 90 days but can be reissued before 30 June. If you think that you have missed your vouchers, then you should contact your electricity supplier. All vouchers must be used by 30 June.
