Energin (formerly known as Leading Edge Energy) secured a $12,900 refund for the Port Campbell Hotel in Victoria after opening a successful case against their energy provider for overcharging.
Situation
Our client took over the leasehold for the Port Campbell and requested to sign up to a small business plan with Origin Energy.
Origin confirmed that he had signed up to the small business plan, however, he was actually put onto large business default rates at 27.5c/kwh for peak, and 15c/kwh for off-peak, plus all other charges.
What we did
When we audited the client’s bill, it became apparent that they had been put on the incorrect default rates. Energin (formerly known as Leading Edge Energy) opened a case with Origin and informed them that our client had been paying more than he should have because he was on the wrong contract.
Origin Energy agreed to provide a backdated large market contract to March 2017, a big win for our client!
The result
Origin Energy issued a refund the owner of the Port Campbell Hotel with $12,900 which was added to his account in credit. To put this into perspective, his annual spend is around $30,000, so effectively they received half a year of energy credit back.
