Postage Fees:  A fee applies when you opt to receive bills via Australia Post instead of electronically. We recommend electronic billing to avoid this charge.

Credit Card Merchant Fees:  Credit card providers charge Blue NRG for payments using their cards.  We pass through the fee at the rate we are charged by the provider.

Direct Debit Dishonour Fee:  Whenever we request payment according to your direct debit instructions, and that payment is rejected by your financial institution, we will charge a fee. This fee is designed to cover the costs we incur because of the payment being dishonoured.

Late Payment Fees:   If you fail to pay your account by the due date we may charge a late payment fee. The amount of this fee covers the costs associated with follow up activity to secure payment of the account.

The following information relates to small customer market or default/standard contract customers, where there are certain circumstances where a late fee cannot be applied, as detailed below:

  • Your Supply Address is in Victoria
  • You qualify as a hardship customer under our hardship policy, accessible at bluenrg.com.au/help-centre/hardship
