FAQs

It’s easy! Either jump online and follow our easy 4 step sign up process or give our friendly team a call on 1300 426 594 and they will do it for you.

Once you have selected your 1st Energy plan depending on your meter type we will transfer you over to us either from your last scheduled read date or the next available read (usually the next day).

Of course! Please give us a call on 1300 426 594 and we will be happy to talk through our options.

Once you have your account number you can register on My Account from the website, it is as simple as that. There you will have access to latest invoices, your consumption, account details, meter information and much more all at your fingertips.

At 1st Energy you will receive a bill every month as we believe this is a better way to manage your energy costs.

If you have a smart meter this will be based on actual reads where available. If you are on a quarterly read meter then we will use the amount you nominated during the sign up process (general rule is to divide your previous bill by 3) or you can provide your own reads via our portal.

The quarterly bill will be reconciled to ensure that you are only paying for what you have used. For Gas customers where the meter is read every 2nd month you will receive an invoice monthly based on the amount you nominated during sign up and reconciled every 2nd month.
