Your electricity bill on the Central Coast can be affected by usage, seasonal heating or cooling, the retailer’s rates, and whether your property is on a time-of-use tariff. Check the bill for the billing period, meter readings, daily supply charge and usage rate, then compare offers through the NSW Government’s Energy Made Easy service. If you are struggling to pay, contact your retailer early to ask about a payment plan, hardship program or rebates you may be eligible for. Eligibility and assistance are decided by the retailer or relevant government department, so check their current requirements.
