Why is my bill late?
To enable timely and accurate billing, Synergy must receive the correct metering data from the meter at your property from the network provider. On occasion the provision of this data may be delayed for a number of reasons including but not limited to metering delays through the network provider, a meter change on the property, a product change on the Synergy account or metering data validation issues. Recently, due to technical issues, the network operator has been unable to provide us with metering data for some accounts since the meters were last read. As a result, we’ve been unable to issue bills to impacted accounts for recent electricity consumption as per our standard 60-day billing cycle. This means that bills for impacted accounts will cover a longer period of time than usual. Synergy is working closely with the network operator to assist and resolve the technical issue as a priority and we will issue bills for impacted accounts as soon as possible.

How do I know my money has paid for renewable energy sources?
Synergy will only use your contribution to purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) from Australia's nationally accredited source Greenpower. Renewable energy purchased by Synergy is fed in to the electricity grid where it mixes with energy produced from non-renewable sources; before being supplied to your business.

Who should be the account holder of a temporary supply?
Whenever a property has a power supply, there must be an account holder who is responsible for paying the account. The account holder is usually the property owner, but if you only need power temporarily, the builder or electrician can be the account holder.This way, the tradesperson will be billed for any power used during construction. If you’re not sure who should be responsible, check your building contract for details.

How we calculate your bill
The rates and charges for electricity are set by the State Government. Synergy uses these to calculate your electricity bill in two parts. It's a combination of how much electricity you use and a daily cost for your connection to the electricity network. Your electricity use information is provided to us by Western Power who reads your meter approximately every two months. This is called ‘meter data’ or ‘energy data’ and is obtained from actual meter readings or estimated meter readings. Synergy is required to use this data when calculating your bill. This is then used by Synergy to calculate your electricity bill. We do this by applying your nominated electricity tariff or plan to the data, to obtain what we refer to as ‘billing data’. Western Power is responsible for the meter/energy data and Synergy is responsible for billing data. If, for any reason, you feel the amount on your bill is not what you expected, simply submit an enquiry online and we will review your bill.

Alternating current (AC)
This is the type of power used by most of our appliances. If you’re using solar panels or a battery, you’ll have an inverter to change the batter or solar DC power into AC power so you can use it in your home.

What is a payment arrangement?
If you’re experiencing payment difficulties and finding it hard to pay your Synergy bill, we may be able to help you with an interest-free and fee-free instalment plan to help avoid disconnection. We will ensure any plan is fair and reasonable, by taking into account information about your capacity to pay and any debt owed to Synergy. This is known as a payment arrangement. With a payment arrangement in place, you could pay your Synergy bill and outstanding amounts off in smaller amounts over time, rather than all at once. It’s easy to apply for a payment arrangement online – you’ll just need a copy of your bill to get started. We’ll let you know if your payment arrangement application is successful at the end of the process and the details of the amounts and due dates for instalments.

What is an export limit and how does it work?
An export limit refers to the maximum amount of solar energy generated by a rooftop solar PV system, in excess to personal consumption, that is permitted to be exported to, or feed back into, the electricity grid. The purpose of export limiting is to help ensure that the grid remains stable and safe. For the solar PV system to be export limited, at installation a sensor is attached to the inverter that determines the amount of current being sent to the grid (an export limiter). The inverter converts solar energy into electricity. This solar generated electricity offsets consumption at the property first at the time of generation and then anything in excess is exported to the grid. The export limiter controls the amount that can be exported to the grid. The offset of solar generated electricity against your personal consumption will help to reduce your electricity costs as you are not drawing electricity directly from the grid. Export limits are set in accordance with Western Power’s Basic Embedded Generator Connection Technical Requirements. How to apply: An application to install or connect a solar PV system that cannot meet ESM requirements and is required to be subject to an export limit cannot be completed online. To apply, please complete the Distributed Energy Systems Application for renewable energy system with an inverter capacity of up to 30kW form.

When and for how long would a Battery Rewards activation event occur?
Battery Rewards activation events can occur no more than 30 times per year. Battery Rewards activation events are most likely to occur during peak demand periods. It’s likely that an activation event would occur between 3pm to 9pm in summer and winter. This is when extreme temperatures create a higher demand for electricity. Most events will run for two to three hours but could also run for up to four hours. Battery Rewards activation events can occur no more than 30 times per year.

Depth of Discharge
This is the level the battery is set to discharge to and is crucial to ensure the longevity of certain battery chemistries. Lithium ion batteries (and some other types) are never fully discharged, because that would have a detrimental effect on the life of the battery. For example, if the depth of discharge was 80%, the battery would shut off and not provide any further power once it reached 20% of its capacity. Older lead acid batteries typically are set to discharge to about 50% and more modern Lithium Ion batteries are able to have much higher depths of discharge up to about 90%. If manufacturers advertise 100% depth of discharge, they usually have a buffer of battery capacity that they do quote on their data sheet.
