Prepay Power is the market leader for Pay-As-You-Go electricity and gas in Ireland. We disrupted the energy market in 2011 with one purpose in mind: ‘To give people total control and complete transparency over their electricity costs.’ Over 170,000 customers have already switched to Prepay Power (and we’re still growing!). In a market dominated by semi-states and subsidiaries to large energy multinationals, we are Irish-owned and independent.
Our service empowers customers to take control of their energy costs. Rather than the traditional market model of short-term discounts with significant terms attached, we help customers achieve long-term savings on the electricity, gas, and broadband that they use, which counts on every bill. Our approach is different and customer-driven. We pride ourselves on providing customers with an excellent level of service in an operationally efficient manner.
PrepayPower is an Equal Opportunity Employer, we believe and treat all our employees, customers, and other stakeholders with dignity and respect.
