How do I open an electricity or gas account?

You will need the following information to open an electricity or gas account ...

• Your gas and / or electricity meter reading. If you’re not sure how to get this, please visit our Help section - How to read your electricity meter and How to read your gas meter.
• Your MPRN for electricity or GPRN for gas. If you’re renting, you can get these from the previous occupant, landlord or estate agent.
