Online
You can request a payment plan for your current bill quickly and instantly via My Account:
In My Account, simply go to your Dashboard and if you’re eligible for an online payment plan, you’ll see a button saying ‘request a payment plan’.
You can request a new date to pay your bill in full. You can also request to pay your bill in weekly or fortnightly instalments between now and your extended due date.

Electricity rebate
We offer an electricity rebate to customers on behalf of the Queensland Government to assist with the cost of electricity.
The rebate is available for eligible pensioners, seniors, health care card holders and asylum seekers and is applied as a daily amount, which is then paid to you in instalments through your electricity bill. The exact amount of the rebate paid on each bill will depend on the number of days in each billing period. Find out more about the electricity rebate.
