Re: AGL Refuses a Government Rebate Refund

This is perhaps one of the most contentious issues of late here on the forum. The rebate is paid to an active electricity account that is eligible, then the retailers applies the (QLD) credit to each bill as it comes up, keeping in mind the federal $300 increments of $75 a quarter are also paid onto an electricity account to add to the credit pool.

Re: Feed-in tariff

Old thread, but coming up as relevant again currently.Here in SA the feed in has been around 6c, some offered 5c, but I was looking about the AGL offers the other day and noticed plans are now offering 3c.

Re: Bad service

You might need to wait for a first full billing period for the rebate to be applied.You don't say what rebate, the federal $300, or it might be the QLD state $1000 if you live there. As far as I have gleaned, the rebate goes to the electricity account, not the property, so if you move it transfers with the person the rebate was applied to, and can't be refunded (for example where) the owner does not get a new property / account, say travels for a period etc.
