Aurora Online and Aurora+

Aurora Energy has two different account management options for Tasmanian customers to better manage their energy accounts. Aurora online, their free account management system, and aurora+ which offers greater control and flexibility when it comes to electricity and gas.

Aurora Online

While customers need to pay to use aurora+, Aurora Energy’s online account management system is free for all customers. With Aurora online, you can:

  • View and pay bills
  • Request a copy of your bill
  • Set up direct debit
  • Request a payment extension
  • Manage your account including organize your move and updating your details
  • Estimate your next bill
  • Contact Aurora Energy customer service

Aurora+

Customers can now add aurora+ to their energy plan for an additional 11c / day which gives you access to the aurora+ app, for even more control over your energy usage. If you have a time of use tariff, this means being able to see exactly when it’s cheaper to use your energy and when it’s cheaper to power down. In addition, you can see your energy usage and costs every day, and top up your account whenever you want to pay your bills.

While the aurora+ app is only available to customers with smart meters, Aurora Energy does offer smart meter installation, free of charge, to new customers. It’s important to note that aurora+ is not compatible with tariff 61 or tariff 62.
