ERM Business Energy: Electricity provider

Can my business get solar power?

Commercial and industrial customers can get solar solutions designed specifically for their business's energy needs. Solar panels are available through ERM Business Energy's partners and installation can be arranged through qualified suppliers.

The company has also helped produce Solpod, which claims to be the first mobile solution to deploy and install large-scale commercial rooftop solar installations. Solpod panels are prefabricated for quick installation. They attach to rooftops without penetrating the roof, which means the panels can be easily removed and moved to a new location if the business relocates.

Can my business get GreenPower?

Yes, you can choose to purchase government-accredited renewable energy for your business through the GreenPower program. This allows you to make voluntary contributions towards supporting renewable energy. However, you'll have to pay more for GreenPower.

Additionally, ERM offers a Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that allows large businesses to buy into additional renewable energy such as wind or solar. With a PPA, you'll pay a fixed price for a large-scale generation certificate (LGC). In return, your business will get a portion of the revenue the LGC generates.

How can I pay my bills?

You can pay your ERM Business Energy bills in the following ways:

• BPAY

  Pay through Internet or mobile banking by setting up a payment through your bank. You'll need to use the biller code and reference number stated on your bill.

• Direct debit

  To set up direct debits, download the direct debit form from the provider's website. Once you've completed the form, payments will be automatically taken out of your bank account or charged to your credit card.

• Credit card

  Call 1300 192 645 or visit the online payment portal to pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Diners Club. However, transaction fees apply for credit card payments.
