Why is my power bill so high in Wollongong and how can I reduce it?

A WattWise Team Answered by

A power bill in Wollongong can vary with household usage, weather, electricity rates, discounts, solar exports and the tariff chosen by your retailer. Check the bill for your daily usage, supply charge and any estimated meter reading, then compare available NSW plans through the Australian Government’s Energy Made Easy website. If the bill seems unusually high, ask your retailer to review the meter reading and charges, and contact the distributor if there may be a network or meter fault. If paying is difficult, ask your retailer about its hardship program or payment options.
