You’ve probably got some extra time on your hands at the moment. Are you using it to get stuck into some life admin? There’s never been a better time to optimise your energy account and take advantage of all the ways we can help you reduce your energy use and save.

It’s quick and easy to take charge of your ActewAGL account and ensure it’s working for you. In just a few clicks, we can help you better manage your budget, increase the energy efficiency of your home, really understand you energy charges, save you time and much more. And best of all, there’s no need to call, you can do it all yourself online, anytime.

Here are our top tips to streamline your energy account:

  1. Set up EvenPay direct debit


    We know you’ve got a lot going on. That’s why we’ve made managing your energy bill and your budget, easier than ever.

    Rather than paying a seasonal bill, EvenPay direct debit smooths your energy bills into smaller, more manageable payments. Every six months we’ll recalculate your payment amount based on your usage and may adjust your deductions to ensure you’re only paying for the energy you use.

    It just takes a just a couple of minutes to set up.

    Keep track of your correspondence, and reduce paper, by updating your communication preferences to email.

    By going paperless you’ll get your bills, and any other important information, instantly delivered straight to your inbox so it’s all in the one place.

    Have you got an old fridge or freezer lying around that’s on ‘The List’ for your isolation clean up?

    Not only will ditching it save you in energy costs (up to $200 a year!), through our Fridge Buyback program we’ll take it off your hands for free, ensure it’s responsibly recycled AND give you $30 credit on your ActewAGL electricity bill.

    It’s as easy as that.
