A credit on your power bill, in three steps
PowerCredit pays power-bill credits to households in communities that host a renewable energy project: a wind farm, a solar farm or a battery. The credit is one of the benefits of hosting the project, paid by the project's developer.
1. Check your address
Type your street address. We check it against the area of every project that uses PowerCredit and show you which ones you can claim from and how much each pays. We don't tell anyone that you checked.
2. Upload your latest bill
Upload a PDF or a clear photo of an electricity bill for your home, issued in the last 3 months. We read the details we need (your meter number and the BPAY details) and you check them. If you're inside more than one project area, one bill covers all of them.
3. We pay it onto your bill
The project team checks your claim. Approved claims are paid at the end of each month by BPAY, straight onto your electricity account, using the details printed on your bill. It usually shows on your next bill, about 5 to 6 weeks after approval.
How often can I claim?
Each project sets its own amount and how often you can claim: monthly, quarterly, every 6 months or each year. You can claim once per period per home, with your latest bill each time.
Who can claim?
Whoever pays the electricity bill for a home inside the project area, whether you own or rent.
