Printed at the top of every paper bill, next to your name. Where do I find it?

Check amount due

A receipt is sent by SMS. Meter reconnection after payment can take up to 4 hours.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute.

  1. 1

    Enter the contract number

    From the top of your paper bill. We look up the current balance only.

  2. 2

    Check the amount due

    Billing period, due date and what is outstanding right now.

  3. 3

    Pay in full or in part

    Telebirr, CBE Birr, Amole or a bank card. No EEU account required.

  4. 4

    Keep the receipt

    Confirmation on screen and by SMS, with a reference number for disputes.

Guest, or signed in

Both settle the same bill. An account keeps the paperwork.

Finding your contract number

A paper EEU bill with the contract number circled in its header block

A 10-digit number in the header block of your paper bill, labelled Contract No. It also appears on every SMS payment confirmation.

Paying for a landlord, a family home or a shop is fine. The payment is applied to the contract, not to whoever paid.

If your service was disconnected

  • Pay the full outstanding balance, not a part of it — partial payment does not trigger reconnection.
  • Reconnection is automatic and usually completes within 4 hours.
  • A reconnection fee may be added to your next bill.
  • Do not attempt to reconnect the supply yourself. It is unsafe and an offence.

Paid but still disconnected after 4 hours? Call 905 with your payment reference — reconnection is free and does not require a new application.

Only pay through official channels

This portal, EEU service centers and licensed mobile-money agents. EEU staff will never ask for payment in cash at your door.

Keep your reference number

Every payment returns a reference. It is what resolves a disputed or missing payment fastest on 905.

Free help on 905

If a payment leaves your account but the balance does not update, call 905 with the reference. There is no charge for the correction.

Common questions

Do I need an account to pay?
No. A contract number and a payment method are enough. An account adds statements, receipts and reminders.
Why can I not see the customer name?
Guest lookup deliberately shows the balance only, so a contract number alone cannot expose someone’s name, address or usage. Sign in for the full record.
Can I pay part of the bill?
Yes, though the remainder stays outstanding and may still lead to disconnection. If you are already disconnected, only a full payment restores service.
How long until my balance updates?
Usually within minutes. Bank transfers can take up to one working day to reflect.
I paid twice by mistake.
Overpayments stay as credit on the contract and are applied to the next bill automatically. Call 905 if you need a refund instead.
Is this the same as buying a token?
No. Tokens are for prepaid meters. If your meter is prepaid, use the token page instead.

Still stuck? Call 905 free, 24/7, or contact customer care.
