Ready Power
Horizon Power has introduced a pre-payment electricity meter into its retail range of products. The service based on these meters is called Ready Power. With Ready Power, you pay for power as you use it, and never receive a power account.
The Email AMPY meter has been selected to deliver Ready Power. As customers using Ready Power do not receive an account some rebates will be paid differently.
Using Ready Power
Customers using Ready Power purchase a power card, similar to a pre-paid phone card. $10, $20 and $50 power cards are available at nominated retail outlets. The single use power card is then inserted into the meter, with the monetary value of the card up-loaded into the meter. This amount is reduced as power is used.
Who can use Ready Power
Ready Power is progressively being offered to residents of nominated Town Reserve Aboriginal communities, and the five communities included in Phase 1 of the Aboriginal and Remote Communities Power Supply Project, as an alternative to credit meters.
Historically, many Town Reserve communities receive one electricity account for all premises. With Ready Power individual meters are installed on each dwelling. This ensures that customers only pay for the electricity they use. Eligible customers can also receive energy rebates, such as the supply charge rebate, and seniors' air conditioning rebate.
In remote communities included in the Aboriginal and Remote Communities Power Supply Project, Horizon Power will be providing full retail services in conjunction with power supply upgrades.
Ready Power was launched on 14 October 2005 in the Town Reserve community of Nulleywah (Kununurra), and the first remote community of Warmun (Turkey Creek) on 12 December 2006.
