Eligible entrants:

Entry is only open to VIC residents aged 18 years or over who are a Simply Energy solar or non-solar customer with a Smart Meter (“Eligible Simply Energy Account”) that have successfully registered for the Reduce & Reward Program.

How to Register for the Program:

To register for the Reduce & Reward Program, the entrant must visit www.simplyenergy.com.au/reduceandreward, follow the prompts to the Promotion entry page; and fully complete and submit the online entry form with the details as requested, including their Eligible Simply Energy Account number, during the Promotional Period.

Entries permitted:

Limit one (1) registration permitted per Eligible Simply Energy Account.

Winner Determination:

• Registrants will need to meet their electricity reduction target as outlined on the Reduce & Reward website across all Peak Demand Events. These targets vary if you are solar and non-solar and are at the discretion of the Promoter. The top five (5) electricity reducers across all Peak Demand Events (comparing their base target to their actual electricity spend) will be rewarded with a $500 (incl GST) bill credit which will be applied to their next Simply Energy electricity bill to their Eligible Simply Energy Account. The reduction in electricity will be measured in kWh.

• If there is a tie for any of the top 5 electricity reducer placings, the Promoter will award the $500 (incl GST) bill credit prize to each of those tied participants.
• The winners will be determined by skill. Chance plays no part in determining the winners. The judges' decision is final and binding and no correspondence will be entered into.

Winner notification:

The winners will be contacted by email within seven (7) business days of the Promotion end date.

Unclaimed Prizes:

In the event of an unclaimed prize, the Promoter may at its discretion assign the prize to the next top electricity reducer registrant, or withdraw the prize unawarded. The Promoter is under no obligation to award any unclaimed prize.
