What should I check on my electricity bill before paying it?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Use an electricity bill checklist to review the billing period, meter readings, total usage in kWh, tariff rates and any daily supply charge. Check that discounts, concessions, solar feed-in credits and previous payments have been applied, and compare your usage with earlier bills. Look for late fees, estimated readings or unusual changes, then contact your retailer if anything seems incorrect. If the bill is difficult to manage, ask the retailer about payment plans or hardship support, as eligibility and assistance depend on your circumstances.
