Anne McEvoy from Kilcoo pays for her electricity using a ‘pay as you go’ Keypad and she has walked away with the prize after she bought a £20 top up for her Keypad. Anne recently switched to buying top ups for her Keypad on the internet, using NIE Energy’s online service
NIE Energy’s Emma Gribben recently met Anne McEvoy to present her with her prize. Winner Anne said: “I think the online service is a brilliant idea. It is so useful and handy in the house. Topping up £20 is also less time consuming than topping up in small amounts.”

The relatively new online top up service is proving to be incredibly convenient for anyone with a Keypad. With the ability to top up anytime, the online facility provides NIE Energy customers with a service from the comfort of their own home. Also customers have the chance of winning £200 if they top up over £20 in one transaction.

NIE Energy’s Emma Gribben said: “Congratulations to Anne for topping up and winning the £200.

“Over 214,000 of our customers currently have a Keypad installed. They have proved really popular, not least because NIE Energy gives Keypad customers 2.5% discount off the standard price of electricity for every unit of electricity used.”

Anyone with a NIE Energy Keypad can benefit from the convenience of online top ups, so why not top up online today. As an added incentive, during April, all Keypad customers who buy a top-up of £20 or more online or from the NIE Energy telephone service at 08457 455 455, will automatically be entered into the prize draw to win £200.

Emma added: “Unlike some mainland based suppliers, NIE Energy does not charge extra for ‘pay as you go’ with a Keypad.

“As well as receiving a discount, customers will benefit as a Keypad provides real time feedback on how much electricity being using, helping households to better control electricity use.”

Top-up anytime online at www.nieenergy.co.uk or from the NIE Energy automated telephone service on 08457 455 455. Or, you can top up from any Paypoint and PayZone local shops.
