I'm wondering what happens if you change retailer during the year?
I'm guessing you need to be careful when you switch.
Has anybody heard anything? It's not covered in the FAQs.

Hopefully. I plan to switch in early June, then early August, to milk a couple of sign up offers.
Haven't paid for electricity since October.
I'm wondering if it applies to holiday houses?
It doesn't. That's covered in the FAQs.
If you switch any credit will be refunded as cash.
If you want it I would recommend against Simply Energy, I think they're calling themselves Engie now.
Or maybe go with them and when they're too incompetent to give you the government bill relief, go to the ombudsman, they will give you $250 of their own money (if that's the one it is) to get the ombudsman case closed. Then you can change retailers, to say Tango who applied it without me having to do anything other than complete the Centrelink form.
I also wonder this. With many energy retailers offering join ing bonuses I need to do the math on if it is worth churning providers every few months.
I'd expect it's a blanket $75 credit on a fixed date each quarter (ie 1st Jan, 1st Apr, 1st jul, 1oct) so energy providers would apply it based on customers at the time.
But that's assuming it's a well thought out government plan, with checks and balances, and proper implementation and oversight :)
