Hi I just wondered,
If you are in credit say £30 or £100 on the Meter and the
price goes up...
Do you pay the original lower rate for the electricity or not.
I,m supposing the Meter does not "know" till the next top up

    The meter is not a vending machine. It simply is a device to ensure you pay as you go and help avoid you accumulating a debt.

    You will be charged at your tariff rate for the energy you use.
