Why is my bill late?

FAQWhy 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 we calculate your bill

FAQHow 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.
