For volunteer firefighters
Your dedication to protect lives, homes, businesses, wildlife and entire communities across New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria has been relentless. To say thank you, we’re offering a $200 credit (for more details see below) to be applied to your Alinta Energy account.

Simply fill out an enquiry form and we’ll get in contact with you with the details. Please make sure to choose “Volunteer Firefighter” as the Enquiry type and include your Alinta Energy Customer Account Number and your Volunteer ID Number for the state fire service you are apart of.

If you have any questions or are unable to complete the form, please give us a call on 13 37 02.

For those who have lost homes or businesses
We’re deeply sorry that you’re experiencing such unimaginable loss or damage due to the bushfires. Please contact us on 13 37 02 when it is appropriate for you and we’ll look to provide immediate assistance, including the waiver of any existing charges remaining on your account.

We’re also committed to matching our employee fundraising efforts for the fire services in each affected State across Australia.

For volunteer firefighters from Western Australia
The process is slightly different for our volunteer firefighters from WA who are assisting in battling the bushfires across the country. We’ve also extended this offer of credit to you but please contact us on 13 13 58 or email on [email protected]

      I like the intro whoever wrote that.

      "Australians are a funny bunch. We pride ourselves on our individuality and our stoicism under pressure, yet whenever there's a disaster we often pull together to help each other and our communities"

          $200 is still pretty nice

      • AbsX on 07/01/2020 - 22:18

        Still a good gesture.

        Way better than a bloody burrito

          Burrito shops probably find it pretty hard to give out energy bill credits hey

          • AbsX on 08/01/2020 - 00:20

            @jason07: I dont disagree haha

            But the way they handled their PR (Guzman and gomez) it was an absolute disgrace

    • profar on 07/01/2020 - 18:41

      Well they actually are if you read the tittle !

    • iseeyou1312 on 08/01/2020 - 00:30

      I think the thoughts and prayers from Morrison was more than adequate.

        It worked didn't it? Now they've got free burritos and power bill credits.

    Dear businesses who are trying to take advantage of free marketing during this crisis, this is an example of a nice thing to do.

    • AbsX on 08/01/2020 - 00:22

      Depends if you possess the will and skills of the person wearing the uniform

      • 4foxache on 08/01/2020 - 08:15

        I'm pretty good with a garden hose pretty much same thing yeah?

    @trombocwell said. Makes me wanna move to alinta.

  • draf3 on 07/01/2020 - 20:06

    For all those who are eligible to receive the assistance but aren't with Alinta, keep an eye out for your own retailer to make a similar announcement.

    As I believe more retailers will be making this assistantce available to their customers in the coming days.

    The private electricity sector ripped off every household and and every business for over two decades, causing the economy to be "severely damaged" according to Rodney Sims.

    I'm sure the firefighters would rather this business didn't exist along with the rest of the private electricity sector like most Australians.

      Any privatisation ends up ripping off Australians, that's what privatisation is for after all.

    • Clear on 08/01/2020 - 09:47

      Power in my state isn't privately owned. It's owned by the state government.

    Not sure how they could issue an accurate electricity bill if your house has burned down?

    • power71 on 07/01/2020 - 21:53

      smart meters communicate readings back every 30 minutes. They'd probably estimate the account based on same period previous years for an old clunker meter

      • testeagles on 07/01/2020 - 22:34

        Then they will charge you $350+ to have the electricity reconnected if you rebuild

        • spaceflight on 08/01/2020 - 10:51

          How do you know?

          And if they do it will be covered by your insurance.

    • spaceflight on 08/01/2020 - 10:49

      If you have a smart meter they will know the last reading.

      But they don't need to know an accurate amount when they are waiving your bill. They will just set your account to be at a $0 balance.

  • SuperGeek on 08/01/2020 - 09:31

    I suggest that admin group all these posts together so that these offers are easy to find
