What is a payment arrangement?
If you’re experiencing payment difficulties and finding it hard to pay your Synergy business 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 business 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 business 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.

How does Synergy’s multi-factor authentication for My Account work?
To log in to My Account, you will need to authenticate your account access using the mobile number or email address linked to your Synergy account. You will also need to enter your supply address exactly as it appears on your Synergy bill. The validation will send a one-time use code to the mobile number or email address that is linked to the Synergy account, which you will need to enter correctly before you can log on. You will only have 3 attempts of the mobile number and supply address authentication , so please ensure you have entered these details correctly. The SMS or email code should be sent instantly, so ensure that you check your junk emails or spam SMS folders if it hasn’t come through within one minute of requesting it. The SMS or email code expires after five minutes and you will need to request a new code after that time. If this happens, you can click on the “I didn’t get a code” link, which can be requested up to 3 times per day. The number of remaining code generation attempts will show on the error message. If you fail to authenticate your account after three attempts, My Account will be locked and you will need to contact us on 13 13 53 between Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm (residential customers), or on 13 13 54 between Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm (business customers) to check your details and to reset My Account.

Is the NaturalPower contribution changing?
The price Synergy pays for Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) has decreased over the last 12 months. This means the price that you pay per unit of NaturalPower or EasyGreen electricity will decrease from 1 July 2025 to 3.4283 cents per unit (incl GST). The NaturalPower and EasyGreen products include a contribution paid by you (above the standard regulated retail tariff) that is used to purchase LGCs from nationally-accredited GreenPower renewable energy sources, helping your household or business to work towards becoming carbon neutral. Renewable energy purchased by Synergy with these contributions is then fed into the electricity grid, where it mixes with energy produced from non-renewable sources before being supplied to your home or business.
