Hi @Leon ,

 

Estimated billing is common if you don't have a smart meter. It means if your electricity distributor is unable to access your meter, your usage will be estimated temporarily (Remember, AGL doesn't read your meter, your local electricity distributor does). Next time your meter is actually read, or if you submit a meter read yourself, your bill will simply be updated, and you'll be credited or charged extra depending if the estimate was under or over. You always have the option to avoid estimated billing by providing your own self-service meter read.
