Better Bills - Kogan Energy

Better Bills - Electricity

We’ve given our bills a makeover: with a fresher look, useful info, and some nifty visuals to help you understand your power usage at a glance. This change is part of a regulatory change to standardise bills across the industry in NSW, QLD, SA, ACT and TAS (but we are also carrying these changes over for our Vic customers). Wondering what’s changed? We’ve laid it all out below – let’s dive in.

Electricity Bill: Page 1

Need help?

If you’ve got power problems you need them sorted ASAP – your bill now has all the numbers you need right up front, on the top-right of the page.

The essentials

The bill still highlights the most important info – how much is due, and when it needs to be paid. The dates on the left make it clear exactly what period your bill covers.

Are you getting our best generally available offer? 

Every other bill includes a section that lets you know if you’re on our best generally available offer (that doesn’t require a paid membership or affiliation).

Pay your way

This section on the bill lets you know about your payment options.

Your plan

The bill now calls out exactly which energy plan you’re on, in a natty little grey box.

Estimated or actual?

The grey box at the top of this page lets you know if the bill is based on an actual or estimated meter read. If it’s based on an estimate, we let you know how to get your bill adjusted to reflect an actual meter read.

Supply and usage

This section of the bill sets your daily supply and usage charges.

Credits and deductions

This section calls out if there’s credit already sitting in your account, or if you’re eligible for things like solar or government rebates.

Need a hand?

From financial assistance or interpreter services, we give you a bunch of contact details to help get things sorted.
