Getting Started
Is the meter hard to use?
The Aurora PAY AS YOU GO meter is very simple to operate. We install the prepaid electricity meter and give you a Smart Card when you sign up. Then you purchase 'electricity credits' which are placed onto your Smart Card.
You can charge your Smart Card at your nearest Aurora PAY AS YOU GO Recharge Agent with any amount between $5 and $200. You transfer the credit onto your Aurora PAY AS YOU GO meter by inserting the Smart Card into the slot on the meter. Your meter will tell you what credit you have, your daily and hourly power use, the various rates that apply, and alert you when you are low on credit.
How do I charge my meter?
Aurora PAY AS YOU GO meters are based on Smart Card technology. Once you collect your card, sign it immediately. Your Aurora PAY AS YOU GO Smart Card is 'charged' with electricity credits that you purchase in any amount between $5 and $200 by taking the Smart Card to an Aurora PAY AS YOU GO Recharge Agent.*
*Please note: Aurora PAY AS YOU GO Recharge Agents prefer cash transactions and are not obliged to accept cheques, EFTPOS or credit cards.
When you insert the card in your meter, the credits are transferred and you have prepaid electricity. You can recharge your Smart Card by purchasing more credit when it suits you.
