This electricity bill guide recommends checking the billing period, meter readings, total usage in kWh, daily supply charge and the tariff or rates applied. Look for discounts, concessions, solar feed-in credits, late fees and any estimated meter reading, as these can affect the amount due. Compare your usage with earlier bills and contact your retailer if something looks incorrect or you are having trouble paying. You can also compare available plans through the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website.
