Ergon Energy has introduced a monthly payment plan to help customers cope with “bill shock”.<\/p>\n

Executive General Manager Retail Ros Baker said Pay-Per-Month was designed to prompt customers to make advance payments towards their quarterly bill, breaking it up into smaller pieces. <\/p>\n

Both residential and business customers are able to participate, as long as their meters are read quarterly.<\/p>\n

Ms Baker said the payment program was targeted at customers who would like assistance with budgeting their bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose customers who are struggling to make payments may be able to access Ergon\u2019s monthly payment program. Under the plan, Ergon will send a notice to customers in the two months between a quarterly bill around the same day of the month, prompting them to make payment,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim is to cover a third of the quarterly bill amount in each pay-per-month instalment, with the remaining third due on their regular bill.<\/p>\n

“The due date of the quarterly bill will not change, and any pay-per-month instalments made towards it will be shown under the \u2018Payments Received\u2019 section of the regular bill.”<\/p>\n

Ms Baker said pay-per-month was a great option to assist customers to manage their electricity payments more regularly instead of one full quarterly payment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll help them estimate their monthly payments to get them started on the new pay\u2013per-month program,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
