I topped up but the full amount has not been added to my Keypad.
If there is any outstanding balance on your account, a percentage of each top-up you buy goes towards reducing this until it is cleared (this is called a PC Contribution).
What does PC Contribution mean?
PC contribution stands for ‘Previous Charge’ Contribution.
You’ll see this on your top-up receipts if part of your top-up is going towards an outstanding balance on your account.
Why did I get a longer top-up code than normal?
Powercodes usually have 20-digits. However, when you buy a top-up after electricity prices have changed you will be given a special 40 or 60 digit Powercode. You may also receive a special 40 or 60 digit Powercode if you change your keypad tariff.
