Sign-Up Error: Gas Prepayment Meter

We cannot take over your gas supply at this time because your meter is registered as a prepayment meter on the national gas database. Outfox Energy only supports credit meters during sign-up.

Why this happens

• The property has a genuine prepayment meter

• A prepayment meter was replaced but records were not updated

• The wrong meter type was applied

If your property does not have a prepayment meter, this is likely a data error. If it does, your current supplier can advise on changing the meter to a credit setup, which may require an engineer visit and could incur a cost.
