Why is my account in credit?

There are a few reasons your account might be in credit, including:

1. You have paid more than the total amount due of your energy account
2. Your solar feed-in tariffs are more than your electricity consumption
3. You received promotional credits (eg. First Bill Credit)

Excess credit refers to the amount by which the total credit balance on a customer’s energy account, accumulated through any mode of payment or credit application, exceeds the customer’s outstanding energy charges.

A customer can request a refund of any excess credits by contacting 13 88 08 or by completing the Refund Request form.
