How it helps

Power Payback was created to reward eligible customers for reducing their electricity use during specific periods when demand on the national energy network was higher.

How customers benefit

When events are available, participating customers can earn energy credit or money off their bill by using less electricity during the time given.

Why it matters

Using less electricity at particularly busy times can help balance the national energy network and reduce the need for additional power generation.
