• has an annual electricity consumption below the threshold of 160 MWh
• does not run using electricity from your home
• is not a government customer under the Electricity Pricing Order, to read more go to the Utilities Commission of the Northern Territory website.

If you're a new small business customer after 1 July 2024, the usage limit doesn’t apply.

Relief schedule

Bill relief will be given quarterly if you have an active account on these dates:

• quarter 1: 31 July 2025
• quarter 2: 1 October 2025

New customers after 1 October 2025 won't be eligible to receive bill relief.

When can you expect to get it

If you’re eligible, your electricity provider will automatically apply the relief to your bills from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025.

It will be applied on a pro-rata basis. You don't need to do anything.
