Disconnection / Reconnection Policy

Disconnection can occur at any time after the due date shown on your bill. After the due date it is your responsibility to ensure our collection department is informed of any payment made at any location other than our Administration Offices. When disconnection occurs reconnection will only be done after full payment of the arrears, reconnection fee, and additional deposit if applicable.

Your Responsibility Regarding Damage

When your service is disconnected for non-payment of arrears, you are responsible for taking whatever action necessary to protect your assets. Lucelec will not be held responsible for any damage, including the loss of frozen foods.

Methods of Payment

Bills can be paid in full as soon as they are received. For those customers who are not always able to make full monthly payments, the option of making part payments throughout the month as funds come to hand is also available. Advance payments are also welcomed, especially in cases where customers expect to be away around the time that payment becomes due.

Pricing

The cost of electricity is calculated by multiplying the units used by the price. The price is in two parts:

  1. a base price
  2. a fuel surcharge cost adjustment factor.

The following example illustrates the pricing formula.


  1. 80 units x 35 cents (base price =$ 28.00
  2. 80 units x 12 cents (surcharge)=$ 9.60 +
Total Bill=$ 37.60
  • Customers are billed after they have used the service.
  • All bills are posted two or three days after the amount due has been determined either by reading the meter or by estimation.
  • Payment is due by the date shown on the bill, which is about 30 days.

 

Customer Tip
"Never put an electrical item off by pulling the cord out of the outlet. This will damage the equipment or could cause a fire."
