Billing
Our suppliers are still developing how the bills for Energy Local customers are presented. In the meantime here is an explanation to clarify the meaning of the bills.
If your Club is with Octopus, your bill should look like the one below. There are a few things to note:
- The electricity charge is the amount you would have paid on a flat tariff without Energy Local (see p.4 for further details)
- The Energy Local Adjustment is the difference due to your Energy Local tariff. This is applied as a credit.
- The Club Fee will appear in your first statement. This goes to Energy Local CIC and the Club that you are a member of. This charged once per year.
- The dates are the period for which the charges have been made, and may not match the date period at the top of your bill.

Where this has happened, the supplier will reverse the account charges and re-bill to include the Energy Local Adjustment, bringing your account up to date. These will both appear as credits. It will look like this:
