Estimated readings can be used to generate monthly invoices.  The invoice maybe higher than usual as the estimate reading could be higher than the actual total electricity usage during the month.  Also, estimate readings will be used to generate your invoice when access to the meter has not been obtained.

For example – Meter could be indoors, meter behind locked gate, meter access block (overgrown gardens)

Blue NRG can offer customers the opportunity to upgrade metering to Smart meter. Please contact Blue NRG for more information. 

If you have a smart meter, Blue NRG receives daily interval reads from the meter.  Blue NRG uses this real time data to generate your monthly electricity bill.

If you have a basic meter, Blue NRG may receive estimated or actual meter reads either on a monthly or quarterly basis from your network provider.  This data is used to generate an invoice on a monthly basis.

• If your energy usage is higher than the last billing period, then your electricity invoice will be higher.
• Some of the most common reasons for high bills include:
• The billing period maybe longer than 31 days
• The invoice total maybe based on estimated meter data instead of actual meter data
• The billing period may be adjusted based on actual meter data received, which may determine that previous invoice was underestimated
• Energy usage could change based on the season.
• If your business has grown, then your electricity usage can also increase
• If you have purchased new appliances, then your electricity usage will increase, considering switching off appliances that may not be in use for long periods.
• Consider changing the time of day when you use electricity, it might be cheaper to run appliances in the evening instead of during the working day.

If an appliance is faulty, it may result in higher than usual electricity costs

Each Blue NRG electricity monthly invoice will show the total amount of electricity you have used including network charges, metering cost, service to property charges and any applicable taxes such as GST. Learn more about your bill here Bill Explainer
