A high power bill in Geelong can result from winter heating, inefficient appliances, increased usage, tariff changes or an estimated meter reading. Check your bill against earlier bills, confirm the meter reading and review your supply and usage rates. You can compare available Victorian electricity plans using the Victorian Energy Compare website, and ask your retailer whether a cheaper tariff or payment arrangement is available. If you are struggling to pay, contact your retailer promptly to discuss hardship support, and check whether you may qualify for an energy concession through the Victorian Government.
