Your energy account

You can find your account details by checking bills, letters or emails from your energy supplier. If you have an online account you can also check that.

This might also be called a ‘customer number’.

You might have a separate reference number, for example, if you’ve already written to your supplier and they gave you a reference number in their reply.

Which type of energy do you get?

Meter serial number

This is also known as the meter ID or MSN. If you get gas and electricity (dual fuel) from your supplier, put both serial numbers.
