Frequently asked questions
- Why is a Ergon Energy bill different from other areas?
- Poles-and-wires costs differ by network. Ergon Energy covers Regional Queensland, and its network charges are built into the QCA notified prices figures for this zone — so the same usage costs a different amount on a neighbouring network. Compare the other QLD zones or the national table below.
- Is this what I actually pay?
- This is the regulated standing rate — the default if you have never chosen a market plan. Market offers in Ergon Energy's area can price below it, so treat these rates as the benchmark your own plan should beat.
- What's controlled load?
- A separately metered circuit — usually electric hot water — that the network can energise off-peak in exchange for a cheaper rate. In Ergon Energy's zone the controlled-load usage rate is 16.7c/kWh, well under the anytime rate of 28.9c/kWh.
