What do I do if I lose power?
If your electricity supply shuts down you may have run out of credit, in which case you will need to activate Emergency Credit.
To access the $10 of Emergency Credit, press the red button on the meter. The flashing exclamation mark will become static and the amount of available credit displayed will include the $10 Emergency Credit.
When Emergency Credit runs out the meter will shut down and the power will turn off. It will still accumulate standing and fixed charges.
The meter can be switched back on by purchasing additional credit on your Smart Card at an Aurora PAY AS YOU GO Recharge Agent and inserting the card in the meter as you would normally. If you cannot pay off your displayed arrears/debt all at once, the meter is programmed to ensure you have access to a limited amount of Emergency Credit by inserting any amount of credit up to $200.
Important: For your safety and convenience you will not lose your electricity supply between 3pm and 10am even if you run out of Emergency Credit. However, if you run out of Emergency Credit before 3 pm you will have to buy more credit to restore power. But remember, your meter display screen will alert you when credit is low.
