Additional Charges

We don't do hidden fees – find out which additional charges may apply to you in the tables below.

Re-connection: When moving into a new house, a re-connection fee may apply when your distributor needs to reconnect the energy supply. This fee is set by your energy distributor and is subject to change.

Disconnection: A disconnection fee may apply when you move out of your home and the power needs to be disconnected by your distributor. This fee is set by your energy distributor and is subject to change.

Special meter read: When moving into a new property, a technician may need to take a read of your meter to ensure you are only charged for any new usage.

You can find your energy distributor on your energy bill or by visiting the Australian Energy Regulator Website.
