What is EnergyAustralia Regular Pay?
If you’ve been an EnergyAustralia customer for at least 6 months, you’re eligible to pay your EnergyAustralia bills with Regular Pay.
With Regular Pay, your annual energy costs are averaged out and divided into regular payment instalments, allowing you to better manage your household budget and avoid bill shock, particularly during peak summer and winter months.
Not all EnergyAustralia customers are eligible for Regular Pay. In addition to needing to be an EnergyAustralia customer for at least 6 months, you cannot:
- Currently be part of an EnergyAustralia Hardship Program
- Have two or more broken payment plans on your account in the last year
- Have an outstanding account balance of $1,500 or more
- Have your account be overdue by 90 days or more
Over the course of your Regular Pay plan, EnergyAustralia reserves the right to adjust your payment amount if your energy consumption changes. EnergyAustralia will give you 14 days' notice in writing for any payment changes.
