On your account balance a credit is money we owe you or it’s to cover your energy use in the future. Debit means that there is less money in your account than the account balance. Credit means there is more money in your account than the account balance. The word ‘credit’ will also show next to any payments you have made to us since your last bill, or a discount that has been applied to your bill.
