You can register for My Account if you're an EnergyAustralia residential or small business customer, and the main account holder.
There are several reasons why your bill may be higher than expected – for instance, if you’ve recently been using more air-conditioning or heating, if you’ve moved to a larger house or if you’ve been spending more time at home. Check out our higher than expected bill checklist for more information.
If you don’t have a smart meter that can be read remotely, your meter needs to be read in-person. Sometimes, the meter reader might have issues accessing your meter (for example, if you have a locked gate or a dog in the yard). In these cases, we may have to use an estimation of your energy usage. The estimate is based on your property's previous usage pattern. For those of you with meters that are hard to access, estimates mean we can keep up regular bill cycles without asking you to stay put to provide access for each scheduled reading and without you having to pay for special readings.
If you’ve received an estimated bill and you don’t have a smart meter or solar power, then you can submit your own meter reading. Once we receive your reading, we’ll calculate a revised bill and send it to you.
We need to arrange a meter read at least once every 12 months. If your meter hasn’t been read in the last 12 months, you will need to Contact us | EnergyAustralia so that we can organise a suitable time for your meter to be read.
