IMPORTANT: We are not an electricity retailer and cannot help you with any billing enquiries or setting up a new account (e.g. if you move house). Your retailer’s contact details can be found on your electricity bill.
Choosing your electricity retailer
The Queensland Government has some great tips for choosing an electricity retailer.
Please note: We are not an electricity retailer. We are the electricity distributor responsible for the safe and reliable supply of electricity to homes and businesses across Queensland.
You can also visit the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) website and read their fact sheets and online information to learn what questions you should be asking the electricity retailer when thinking about switching or signing a market contract.
Your retailer's role
Your retailer's role is to sell you the electricity that you consume. You should contact your retailer for all enquiries relating to the following:
- Moving house and setting up a new electricity account
- reconnections
- disconnections
- contracts for power supply
- electricity bills
- electricity prices
- green energy options.
