Incorrect disconnection or re-connection outside of time-frame

If we disconnect your electricity supply incorrectly, we will organise a priority re-connection and will also pay you $100 for each day you are disconnected. 

If you have been disconnected by Horizon Power, once you meet the requirements to be reconnected, Horizon Power must reconnect your electricity supply within the time-frames specified in our Customer Charter. If we do not meet these requirements, we will pay you $60 for each day the re-connection is late up to a maximum of $300. 

Please contact your local office to discuss your claim.
